Science Week 2023

→ America/Vancouver
Description

TRIUMF Science Week is back this summer!

July 31st - August 4th, 2023. 

Welcome to Science Week 2023

This year's program will feature presentations on recent achievements and highlights of TRIUMF's science program. Further, Science Week 2023 will be used as platform to present the outcome for the 2025-2030 5-year plan to the community, following on from last year's Science Week which was used to gather input and feedback on major science directions and new initiatives from the TRIUMF community. With ARIEL on the horizon, the third part of the science program will be dedicated to informing the community on the facility's status and timelines, and feature presentations and discussions on exciting new science opportunities in the ARIEL era. We will conclude the week with the TRIUMF Users Group Annual General meeting.

 

Science week is planned as in-person event, but if you want to join online, please follow the zoom links that will be send out to all participants via email.

        The Feasibility of Future Colliders

        The Collider Implementation Task Force (ITF) was charged with the evaluation and fair and impartial comparison of future collider proposals, including R&D needs, schedule, cost (using the same accounting rules), and environmental impact. Over about a two-year period a group of 12 accelerator and collider experts collected information of all major and innovative future collider proposals. A report was recently published at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/18/05/P05018. The speaker chaired the task force and made presentations of the report to Snowmass and most recently to P5. A summary of the evaluation will be given.

        SRF Development at TRIUMF

        The TRIUMF SRF program began in 2000 to support the design and development of the ISAC-II heavy ion linac. We now have two superconducting linacs in operation, the 40MV ISAC-II heavy ion linac and the 30MV ARIEL 1.3GHz electron linac. At TRIUMF SRF R&D supports the high performance and availability of TRIUMF accelerators to enable discovery science. In addition SRF infrastructure and NSERC funds are leveraged to deliver cutting edge research to educate and train highly skilled personnel and to advance SRF science and technology. External collaborations with VECC, CERN and others are opportunities to participate in exciting projects, enhance our skill set and reputation. The SRF development program will be presented.
