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.
All of us here at TRIUMF are saddened by the tragedy in Japan very early this morning. We offer our deepest sympathies, condolences, and support to everyone affected.
The University of Alberta and TRIUMF, along with other universities and labs, are preparing for the SNO+ experiment to study the properties of neutrinos from the sun.
