The Society of Italian Researchers and Professionals in Western Canada held their inaugural event featuring Olivia Fermi, beginning their mission to build connections across Canada and with Italy.
Carleton University physics professor and TRIUMF senior scientist David Sinclair will receive the inaugural CAP-TRIUMF Vogt Medal for Contributions to Subatomic Physics.
A TRIUMF team made precision measurements of low-level radioactivity concentrations in local milk, rainwater, and bottled water. Results confirmed that there are no health risks.
To accelerate electrons through the e-linac, an electron "gun" is used to generate and initially steer the electrons. The TRIUMF team has achieved success at 100 keV and 10 mA, a key milestone on the way to ARIEL.
A new accelerator technology that promises a range of applications from treating cancer to powering safer nuclear reactors has reached a world first in its development; TRIUMF is a key collaborator.
