Awards & Honours ISAC & ARIEL Reference Book Released 09 July 2014 Scientists involved with radioactive-beam experiments at TRIUMF have a new reference guidebook that will prove to be an invaluable resource. ISAC and ARIEL: The TRIUMF Radioactive Beam Facilities and the Scientific Program contains information about each step of the beam's path and the future of ARIEL.
Experimental Result Accelerators: Potato Chips to Power Plants 07 July 2014 From the low energy electrons in CRT monitors to the tremendous near-light speed protons of the LHC, particle accelerators are everywhere. Accelerators are more commonplace than you might expect, with applications ranging from manufacturing to energy production to agriculture. 
Current Events 700 Cables Pulled Propels E-linac Installation 03 July 2014 1400 cables are needed to bring the e-linac to life this September. Over 60 volunteers from the Science and Accelerator Divisions marked the 700th cable pulled at ARIEL’s Electron Hall. Only 700 more cables to go as we leap toward the Sept 30th goal of beam delivery to the tuning dump!
Current Events Plug Into Our Digital Community 25 June 2014 Be in the know and stay connected with TRIUMF! TRIUMF is offering a “Be our Scientist of the Summer” sweepstakes through Facebook. One fan (and nine friends) of TRIUMF will get an exclusive tour, Q&A with research scientists and a pizza party.
Current Events Success! First test beam in ARIEL’s E-linac 24 June 2014 ARIEL hits another milestone! On May 23, ARIEL received its Operating License from the CNSC, allowing the e-linac to generate beam. To test the e-linac’s components, including the SRF cavity, the first electron beam was produced on June 1.
Experimental Result Are Neutrinos Their Own Twin? 23 June 2014 Is it possible that instead of having a distinct antimatter particle, neutrinos could be their own antimatter twin? Determining the nature of neutrinos is a key goal of modern particle physics. EXO-200 has recently announced a result that is helping scientists answer this fundamental question.
Awards & Honours Inaugural Erich Vogt FYSRE Awarded 18 June 2014 Vancouver native Walter Wasserman, a first-year student at UBC, has been selected as the inaugural recipient of the Erich Vogt First Year Student Research Experience (FYSRE) award. The award offers first year students a paid research experience over the summer months.
Workshops & Conferences TRIUMF Advances the Future of Wireless 16 June 2014 Data communication and processing protocols from cutting-edge physics experiments often exploit or even extend the latest developments in wireless communications; TRIUMF engineers recently pushed the technology forward.
Experimental Result The SUSY Fever 10 June 2014 The ATLAS Collaboration has released three search analyses addressing the production of charginos and neutralinos, a strong component in supersymmetry. Supersymmetry is a promising extension of the Standard Model of elementary particles.
Experimental Result Canadian Team Addresses Tc-99m Crisis 09 June 2014 In demonstrating technology suitable and scalable for multiple brands of cyclotrons, this Canadian team has developed a comprehensive solution to produce Tc-99m in large quantities suitable for large population bases.
