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.
Experimental Result First Tracks from TACTIC 05 September 2007 TACTIC (TRIUMF Annular Chamber for Tracking and Identification of Charged Particles) is a cylindrical time projection chamber for the detection of low-energy ions ejected from nuclear reactions built by a collaboration between the University of York and TRIUMF.
Experimental Result Mount Allison Group Studies Green Chemistry at TRIUMF 14 August 2007 The focus of the Mount Allison University muon chemistry group, led by Dr. Khashayar Ghandi, is the study of green chemistry, and chemical dynamics using muons as microscopic probes.
Experimental Result Gamma Rays from 29Na: First TIGRESS Experiment at ISAC-II 10 August 2007 The results of this experiment will illuminate the inner workings of exotic nuclei, which is itself crucial to our understanding of how stars evolve, explode, and create the matter that we see around us.
Experimental Result First Signals from TACTIC 27 July 2007 TACTIC is a cylindrical time projection chamber for the detection of low-energy ions ejected from nuclear reactions.
Experimental Result Experiment Shows Large Sub-barrier Fusion Enhancement 26 July 2007 A group from Oregon State University (Loveland, Vinodkumar, Sprunger, Prisbrey and Neeway) and the University of Notre Dame (Kolata, Roberts, and Spencer) ran subatomic experiment S1126 at TRIUMF from July 11th to the 24th, attempting to measure the fusion excitation function for the 9Li + 208Pb reaction.
Experimental Result 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.
Experimental Result 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.
