看片视频 Becomes a Full Member of TRIUMF, Canada鈥檚 National Particle Accelerator
Published: 6 March 2023
看片视频 has become a Full Member of the expanded network of TRIUMF, Canada鈥檚 national particle accelerator. 看片视频 has been involved in TRIUMF-led activities for several decades and has held associate membership since 2013.
TRIUMF constructed parts of the Large Hadron Collider that ultimately produced Higgs bosons. The co-discovery was made by the ATLAS experiment, and 看片视频 played a key role in the development of the experiment's trigger system.
鈥溈雌悠碘�檚 decades-long collaboration with TRIUMF has resulted in research at the cutting edge of modern physics, including through the ATLAS experiment,鈥� said Martha Crago, Vice-Principal, Research and Innovation. 鈥溈雌悠� is proud to join TRIUMF鈥檚 engaged group of university members across Canada, with whom we share commitments to fundamental research and technological advancement.鈥澛�
Several researchers in 看片视频鈥檚 Faculty of Science are actively involved in projects at TRIUMF including the ATLAS experiment and upgrades (Professors Fran莽ois Corriveau, Brigitte Vachon, and Andreas Warburton), the Belle-II experiment (Professor Andreas Warburton), the ISAC projects (Professors Thomas Brunner and Fritz Buchinger), the nEXO experiment (Professor Thomas Brunner), as well as the LISA project (Professor Daryl Haggard) with the enthusiastic participation of their groups鈥� highly qualified personnel. These projects seek to answer important and fundamental questions as, 鈥淲hat is the matter ultimately made of?鈥�, 鈥淲hat is the nature of new physics beyond the Standard Model?鈥�, 鈥淲hat are the properties of exotic nuclei?鈥� and 鈥淗ow do we use the gravitational wave to study the Universe?鈥�
"The facilities and scientific infrastructure at the TRIUMF particle accelerator centre enable scientists across Canada to pursue some of today's most urgent and exciting research questions," said Bruce Lennox, Dean of Science. "We are pleased that 看片视频 is now a full member of this preeminent Canadian laboratory and very proud of our 看片视频 researchers who play central roles in many collaborative projects at TRIUMF."
Recently, TRIUMF underwent changes to its organizational structure to improve efficiency and clarify accountability across the laboratory鈥檚 various stakeholders. Now, with a fortified network of 21 member institutions spanning coast-to-coast, TRIUMF is well-positioned to achieve the goals laid out in its recently published 20-Year Vision.
鈥淥ur member universities recognize the many unique advantages of our world-leading research infrastructure and multidisciplinary science programs 鈥� but also that TRIUMF is accessible to and engaged with Canada's top academic institutions, large and small, in a manner that amplifies the impact of each here in Canada and abroad,鈥� said TRIUMF Director, Dr. Nigel Smith. 鈥淲ith our new governance structure and our member university community fully engaged, TRIUMF is well-positioned to fulfill our ambitious 20-Year Vision, which see us continuing to lead as one of Canada鈥檚 largest and most impactful fundamental research facilities.鈥�
