On the weekend of August 24 – 26, 2007, physicists on the TITAN experiment (S1074) took the first Penning trap mass measurements of radioactive lithium isotopes -- the lightest on-line produced ions ever trapped.
This past Sunday, September 9th, the TRIUMF parking lot was more heavily used than is normal for a weekend due to the sold-out Feast of Fields event held a short distance down the road.
Electronics for the “Keep Alive Umbilical System” were recently tested by MDA (MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates) engineers Rod Dixon and Zaeem Mohammed using the TRIUMF Proton Irradiation Facility.
The CHEP Conference provided an international forum for delegates to exchange information on their computing experiences and to review recent, ongoing, and future activities for their community.
Many years after the last neutrons from the TRIUMF 4C neutron beam passed down the collimator, scientists are considering bringing back neutrons to the Proton Hall, albeit some fifteen orders of magnitude lower in energy.
TRIUMF's Technology Transfer Division is pleased to announce that Advanced Applied Physics Solutions, Inc. has been chosen as one of the 25 finalists for the 2008 Centres for Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR) Competition.
In August 2007, TRIUMF welcomed David Lunney who is here on a sabbatical leave. Having worked exclusively at ISOLDE, David was curious to experience a different ISOL facility and chose TRIUMF for its quality and long-term potential.
TRIUMF and IBM announced that Canada's contribution to a worldwide network of supercomputers is ready to process data from the world's largest particle accelerator.
he TeV-nu workshop, an inspiration of TRIUMF's John Ng, brought together phenomenologists with neutrino specialists -- both underground and long-baseline, collider enthusiasts, and partisans of low-energy electroweak precision measurements
On October 27, 2007, TRIUMF hosted a Workshop on Radiotracer Development to establish the groundwork for a national collaborative on radiotracer research and development.
