A special ceremony on Thursday, December 16, 2010, celebrated the recognition of first beams from TRIUMF’s main cyclotron in 1974 as an engineering milestone for Canada.
TRIUMF and ACSI—a leading designer, manufacturer, and installer of cyclotrons—have partnered to advance and promote cyclotron and accelerator technologies for providing healthcare for Canadians.
On November 9th, 2010, Simon Fraser University President Andrew Petter made his first visit to TRIUMF. SFU is part of the consortium of 16 universities that own and operate TRIUMF.
Particle physics theorists from TRIUMF, UBC, and Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US have proposed a new theory for the way that the anti-matter half of the universe could have disappeared at the Big Bang.
Led by Simon Fraser University physicist Jeff Sonier, scientists at TRIUMF have discovered something that they think may severely hinder the creation of room-temperature (20-25 degrees Celsius) superconductors.
Selkirk College in Castlegar, BC, has joined forces with TRIUMF as the first college in Canada to work with TRIUMF through a Memorandum of Understanding.
After less than three weeks of colliding lead ions at the highest energies ever achieved, scientists at the LHC laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, already have brought new insight into the universe as it existed immediately after the Big Bang.
After more than ten years of planning and construction, the Qweak experiment at Jefferson lab is now taking data. The experiment will make a very precise measurement of the proton's `weak charge', which has a well defined value in the current standard model of physics.
Boldly going where the universe has not gone before, a group of international scientists at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland have succeeded in capturing anti-matter atoms.
