Canada makes a TRIUMFant contribution

摘要

Since 1995 theTRIUMF Laboratory in Vancouver has been collaborating with CERN staff to provide a five-year $30-Canadian contribution to CERN's LHC collider complex. This is in addition to contributions to the LHC detectors, and has involved activities in a variety of areas, not only on the LHC itself, but also on the machines in the injector chain, especially in this initial phase. In particular, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) and its Booster require major modifications to deliver proton beams with much higher brightness, more strictly controlled emittance, and a different bunch spacing.
