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. |

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 |
