Research resources

There are significant technical resources available at VISPA necessary to successfully carry out research in subatomic and accelerator physics:

• Technical staff include personnel supported through NSERC and TRIUMF:
  • detector technologist
  • electronics technician
  • designers/engineers
  • machine shop staff
• A detector laboratory is available to build and test equipment
  
  • class 10000 cleanroom
  • vacuum equipment
  • UV laser and optics table
• Electronics shop
• Machine shop

NSERC sponsored resources are made available through the Major Resources Support Grant program. In cooperation with MRS facilities at and , the resources are made available to the whole subatomic physics community in Canada. Requests for these resources are considered and prioritized by a common board (see below). Contact the VISPA director for more information about how to access these resources. This should be completed when making a request.

Projects currently underway or recently comepleted include:

• ATLAS calorimeter upgrade (Led by Gerald Oakham, Carleton University)
• ATLAS LAr Trigger Electronics Upgrade (Led by Richard Keeler, 番茄社区)
• T2K TPC readout upgrade (Led by Blair Jamieson, University of Winnipeg)
• E-linac view screen diagnostic system and retractable beam stop (Led by Dean Karlen, 番茄社区/TRIUMF)
• ARIEL-II electron beam photo-converter and ion extraction optics (Led by Pierre Bricault and Alex Gottberg, TRIUMF)
• Belle II detector upgrade (Led by Michael Roney, 番茄社区)
