Experimental Result Fermilab Experiments Confine the Higgs Mass 18 March 2009 Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have obtained the world's most precise measurement of the W boson's mass. This has led to a reduction of territory where the Higgs boson could actually exist.
Experimental Result Experiments on Halo Nuclei at the ISAC Facility 17 December 2008 An international group of scientists led by researchers from the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), the University of Sevilla, and the University of Huelva recently completed a scattering experiment on thin lead targets.
Experimental Result First Acceleration of Charge-bred RIB at ISAC 12 November 2008 On November 11, 2008, a team of scientists led by Dr. Friedhelm Ames successfully accelerated a beam of 80Rb14+ ions at TRIUMF’s ISAC facility. This represents the first accelerated, charge-bred rare isotope beam (RIB) at ISAC, making ISAC one of only three facilities in the world with this capability and signaling the beginning of a new program of nuclear physics at TRIUMF
Experimental Result Summer--and TRIUMF Cryo Team--Cools Off 28 August 2008 As the Vancouver summer has taken a cooler turn, so has the TRIUMF Vacuum and Cryogenics group.
Experimental Result New Observation of Unusual Particle Decay has Potential to Confront the Standard Model 21 August 2008 An international team of scientists working at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently announced new observations of the decay of a certain subatomic particle that has the potential to challenge the Standard Model of particle physics.
Experimental Result First Patient Successfully Scanned in F-18 - EF5 Clinical Trial 11 July 2008 The radiopharmaceutical F-18 - EF5 is poised to take out the guesswork from deciding treatment for cancer patients.
Experimental Result TUDA’s First Fluorine-18 Experiment Completed 27 June 2008 The TRIUMF-UK Detector Array (TUDA) collaboration celebrated on June 10 as they completed a three week run using the world’s most intense accelerated 18F beam to investigate one of the most important nuclear reactions occurring in novae.
Experimental Result A First in Canada: TRIUMF & Local Firm Produce Superconducting Cavity 14 April 2008 A team of B.C. scientists and engineers drawn from the TRIUMF laboratory and PAVAC Industries, Inc., announced today they have entered into an elite league of groups worldwide able to manufacture ultra-sophisticated superconducting accelerator technology.
Experimental Result MDA Tests Space Shuttle Components at TRIUMF 12 September 2007 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.
Experimental Result TITAN's 1st Experiment Takes Precision Mass of On-line Lithium Ions 05 September 2007 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.
