This new and improved high-efficiency gamma-ray spectrometer will improve data collection and allow scientists to look further into the isotopes produced at TRIUMF.
Together with two other senior researchers from the U.S., UBC's Doug Bryman was awarded the 2011 W.K.H. Panofsky Prize in experimental particle physics for finding a needle in a haystack.
At the end of March, visitors from the SFU chemistry department toured TRIUMF's main cyclotron and target hall to see how and where the isotopes they use for research are developed and produced.
