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.
As a pilot for TRIUMF's emerging Aboriginal youth research initiative, 17-year old Dylon Martin will spend 6 weeks immersing himself in the workings of the lab & sharing his weekly reflections on the web.
The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) recently underwent Scale Testing for the Experimental Program '09 (STEP'09). With all computing activities taking place simultaneously for the first time, researchers are confident that the computers will efficiently analyse the first data from the LHC in the fall.
On Canada Day, TRIUMF celebrated a triumph with the addition of three leading research universities as full members to the consortium which owns and operates the laboratory for the benefit of all of Canada. The University of Guelph, Queen's University, and York University all became full members.

TRIUMF participated in the inaugural Canada- Japan Symposium on Accelerator- Based Science, hosted by the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo on July 7, 2009.
