Ian Thorson (February 22 1934- January 26 2010) will be deeply missed by his family and friends. His expertise in radiation shielding and safety contributed greatly to TRIUMF.
TRIUMF scientists contributed to two recently published papers which set out to explore a new regime in trap physics using the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA).
IRIS, a proposed experimental facility at TRIUMF designed to study charged particles, was awarded funding from the Nova Scotia Research and Innovation Trust.
Scientists at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNOLAB) and across Canada are delighted with the funding announcement from the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation.
