New TRIUMF research from the Saint Mary’s University-led IRIS group has unveiled an unexpected shape deformation in the nucleus of helium-8, providing further insight into the unique dynamics of how neutron-rich nuclei take shape and maintain stability.
The DRAGON experiment has been a mainstay in TRIUMF’s scientific portfolio since 2001, measuring the majority of the world’s radiative capture reactions with rare isotope beams so far and, in the process, making a number of first-in-the-world measurements.
After more than a year of virtual sessions, TRIUMF’s professional development program for undergraduate students is bringing together the laboratory’sFall 2021 students for a suite ofhands-on, 360°professional development workshops scheduled across the Fall term.
Teams working on TRIUMF’s Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL)achieveda major milestone for the facility’s electron linear accelerator (e-linac) by reaching an average beam power of 10 kW at the e-linac's design energy of 30MeV. The results, which come nearly three months ahead of schedule, mark a major leap in the ramp-up of the accelerator’s output to full capacity and eventual operation.
The clinical-stage oncology company and TRIUMF announced their entry into the next phase of their collaboration agreement for the production of actinium-225.
After 20 years of service to TRIUMF, Jens Dilling will be departing the laboratory on July 31, 2021 to take on a new challenge as the Director of Institutional Strategic Planning at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
TRIUMF has joined RADNEXT (‘RADiation facility Network for the EXploration of effects for indusTry and research’), aHorizons 2020infrastructure projectthat willestablisha global network of facilities and related irradiation methodology for responding to the emerging needs of electronics component and system irradiation.
