Annual Report, Scientific Activities, 1981 (University of British Columbia. TRIUMF Facility)

摘要

During 1981 achievement of reliable cyclotron operation became the highest project prikrity at TRIUMF. Redesign and replacement of the RF systems was underway, and progress is being made toward improved polarized ion sources and toward higher intensity. The basic science programs spanned a wide range from chemical reaction rates to the structure of elementary particles. A large team preparing to take measurements on neutrinoless muon-electron conversion using the time projection chamber made strides toward data taking. This project is part of a general shift in the interests of TRIUMF toward particle physics. Several major experimental facilities have received improvements in 1981. The positron emission tomograph was near completion, and the CP42 isotope production cyclotron was delivered. Interest developed in the concept of an accelerator for a kaon factory.
