Accelerator based particle physics has delivered an amazing scientific success story, lead in part over the last 70 years by CERN. In 2025, there will be an update to the European Strategy on Particle Physics which will set the direction for what will come after the High Luminosity LHC upgrade, that is scheduled to extend operations until 2042. This talk will give an overview of the past...
Established in 1968 in Vancouver, TRIUMF is Canada’s particle accelerator centre. The lab is a hub for discovery and innovation in answering nature’s most challenging questions. From the hunt for the smallest particles in our universe to research that advances the next generation of batteries or develops isotopes to diagnose and treat disease. The research is powered by TRIUMF's complex...
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a new particle collider facility to be built in the US with significant participation of the EIC Canada Collaboration. At the EIC, polarized electrons will collide with polarized protons or ions to answer questions about the origin of mass and spin of protons. The EIC Canada Collaboration will provide two pieces of key infrastructure for the EIC and its...
Canada’s new infrared free electron laser (IR-FEL) user facility will be built at the University of Waterloo. This initiative, which is being undertaken in partnership with TRIUMF, the Canadian Light Source, and several universities from across Canada, will open new research directions in health sciences, the natural sciences, and engineering. Based on the successful designs of the IR-FELs at...
