TRIUMF Kicker Group Accepts Short Pulse Challenge of ILC |
09 February 2006 |
The Internal Linear Collider proposal is a massive new undertaking of the world's particle physics community. The ILC plans to be the world's largest particle accelerator with two facing linear accelerators, each 20km long, colliding beams of electrons and positrons at the highest energies ever. |

Searching for Nature's Right Hand |
07 April 2005 |
Elementary particles such as electrons are labeled as either "right-handed" or "left-handed". A surprising observation is that only left-handed particles seem to feel the weak nuclear force, whereas left- and right-handed particles feel the other fundamental forces equally. |
