Description
By the mid nineteen sixties a vibrant culture of nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry and nuclear medicine was well established across Canada. Immediately following the cyclotron commissioning in 1974 active programs in nuclear physics, pion and muon physics,pion therapy, and isotope production were initiated. I will describe the configuration of the laboratory and focus on experiments with polarized proton beams as well as the early medical program with negative pions.
