CFI announced its support for a technology upgrade of the ATLAS Canada Tier-1 Data Centre, a particle-physics data storage and analysis facility at TRIUMF led by SFU's Michel Vetterli.
CFI today announced its support for an advanced isotope project led by Saint Mary's professor and regular TRIUMF visiting scientist Ritu Kanungo. The project, CANREB, will be based at TRIUMF.
Canada's first astronaut, Marc Garneau, M.P., returned to TRIUMF to talk with scientists and witness the progress in advancing isotopes for science and medicine.
A science paper co-authored by TRIUMF scientist Makoto Fujiwara predicts that new techniques planned for the ALPHA experiment will allow anti-hydrogen atoms to cooled with 10x greater effectiveness than previously.
TRIUMF's engineering talent is recognized by professional peers; Aurelia Laxdal achieves P.Eng. credential and joins almost 20 other Professional Engineers at TRIUMF.
Six Canadian physicists were elected to become Fellows of the American Physical Society, recognizing outstanding contributions to physics. Congrats to TRIUMF's Jens Dilling & Don Fleming (also UBC)!
Particle physics enters the mainstream with ATLAS spokesperson Fabiola Gianotti grabbing Runner-Up for TIME Magazine's 2012 Person of the Year. Congrats to Fabiola, the ATLAS team, and ATLAS-Canada!
Senior visitors from Canada paid CERN a visit in late November to learn more about present and future Canadian involvement in the quest for understanding the basic ingredients of our universe and how they interact.
