TRIUMF is a world-class subatomic physics research laboratory. It is one of three subatomic research facilities in the world that specialize in producing extremely intense beams of particles. The heart of the facility is the world’s biggest cyclotron, which is used to accelerate 1000 trillion particles each second!
TRIUMF is operated by a consortium of Canadian universities, under a contribution
from the National Research Council of Canada. TRIUMF was originally operated by three universities, the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria, and the acronym TRIUMF (TRI-University Meson Facility) stems from this. However the University of Alberta, Carleton University, and the University of Toronto have joined TRIUMF as member universities, and seven other Canadian universities are associate members.
TRIUMF at Simon Fraser University is located in the Department of Chemistry . It involves people from the both Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics at SFU, includes an Emeritus Professor, 11 Faculties and 18 Graduate Students.
