My fifth week at TRIUMF has come to an end, and what an insightful week it was. I learned how research, mechanical work, and public relations all come together to make TRIUMF the great place it is.
On Saturday, August 8, the TRIUMF site was buzzing with curiosity, energy, and enthusiasm, as 1300 people visited the laboratory for its 40th Anniversary Open House celebration.
This week I got a real taste for the sincere passion that motivates scientists, both in the students who presented their research findings and in the scientists I worked closely with on the TIGRESS experiment.
More than 40 students from around the world gathered at TRIUMF from July 20 - 31 for the 21st Annual TRIUMF Summer Institute where they engaged with world-class experts on LHC Collider physics.
It's 40 years since four Canadian universities pooled their resources to create a facility that no single university could provide, and I've been privileged to play a small part in the activity of TRIUMF...
It's Friday and I've spent the last week working with the TUDA group delving into a fascinating field I had heard little of before: experimental nuclear astrophysics.
After months of testing, the newest addition to the OLIS family, the Supernanogan ECR ion source, has now successfully sent beam to three scheduled experiments in the TRIUMF ISAC facility.
It's been a busy week; I've been introduced to the M20 beamline, learned about muons and µSR, explored the data room for an experiment, and realized just how essential calculus is to physics research.
TRIUMF's commitment to training the next generation of leaders through its research, education, and outreach program is paying off for two young physics students this summer.
It's Friday and I am enjoying my stay in Vancouver as part of a TRIUMF program. I have arrived in Vancouver; unpacked at TRIUMF House, toured the facilities, visited the First Nations House of Learning at UBC, and familiarized myself with Particle Physics.
