Instrumentation and Measurement Physics / Physique des instruments et mesures (DIMP-DPIM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

TRIUMF operates the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) rare isotope facility as well as the Centre for Molecular and Materials Science (CMMS), which uses muons and isotopes. The ISAC facility comprises 18 state of the art experiments for experimental programs in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries. CMMS features several state-of-the-art set-ups for muon...

Instrumentation and Measurement Physics / Physique des instruments et mesures (DIMP-DPIM)

Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

TRIUMF’s new Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) is the up and coming producer of rare isotope beams for nuclear science in Canada. It will triple the number of beamlines available to both of the (rare) Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facilities, and will expand their range of available isotopes. An overview of ARIEL and the CANadian Rare-isotope facility with Electron-Beam ion...

Instrumentation and Measurement Physics / Physique des instruments et mesures (DIMP-DPIM)

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)

Pixelated Geiger-mode avalanche photo-diodes also called silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are replacing traditional vacuum photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) in numerous applications in subatomic physics, medical imaging and condensed matter. They have several advantages being insensitive to magnetic field, having higher efficiency, more uniform gain, and being more compact. However, they still...

History of Physics / Histoire de la physique (DHP)

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)

The Weber electrodynamometer is an instrument used to measure the absolute value of electric power (or current if one knows the voltage). It works by measuring the mechanical torque between two pairs of coils induced by the current in the coils. This is one of the first research instrument bought in 1895 by the newly created McGill Physics Department for 177£. McGill College apparatus...
