4 TRIUMF Mission Statement TRIUMF is Canada s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. It is owned and operated as a joint venture by a consortium of Canadian universities via a contribution through the National Research Council Canada with building capital funds provided by the Government of British Columbia. Its mission is To make discoveries that address the most compelling questions in particle physics, nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, and material science; To act as Canada s steward for the advancement of particle accelerators and detection technologies; and To transfer knowledge, train highly skilled personnel, and commercialize research for the economic, social, environmental, and health benefit of all Canadians. 4

5 Preparation of the Five-Year Plan TRIUMF operations are supported in five-year cycles through a contribution via NRC Present plan completes in 2010 The five-year has been under development for 2 years and is now ready 5

6 Goals of the Plan Substantially expand TRIUMF s rare isotope beam program Expand Canadian access to international science Pursue advanced accelerator technologies Lead the coming revolution in nuclear medicine Train the next generation of leaders in Canadian science, technology, and innovation Exploit targeted opportunities with commercialization partners such as AAPS Inc. 6

7 Considerations ISAC is not getting out as much science as we would like Experiments excellent but lacking varied beams wanted by researchers Beta-NMR program has great potential but needs much beam time TRIUMF scientific success tied to multiple beam delivery On verge of a nuclear medicine revolution TRIUMF well positioned to lead Opportunity with university partners eg. Ultra-Cold Neutrons Investment by TRIUMF (NRC) is modest Expect strong investment from Japan Start with gravity (Japanese led) lifetime (US led) and move toward EDM later Recent successes with Superconducting RF puts TRIUMF at leading edge of accelerator technology ATLAS Canada program high quality and building on success 7

8 Canadian Long Range Plan Priorities (NSERC) Full exploitation of LHC physics potential Completion and full exploitation of ISAC for nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics Completion of SNOlab and build experiments Participation in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments R&D for ILC and participate in international deliberations on timing and location TRIUMF is fully aligned with these priorities 8

24 Vision Goal of 5-year plan -- take TRIUMF ISAC to next-level Unique moment to seize scientific discovery opportunity Study of neutron-rich nuclei important for element abundances, supernova explosion neutron density models, neutron star crusts, theory advances, 3-nucleon interactions.. Great opportunity in fundamental symmetries (one of holy grails in nuclear physics) TRIUMF has strong fleet of experiments & eager young researchers Large international user base wanting and waiting for varied beams ISOL target & ion source expertise has grown & is ready to advance Accelerator team strong Canada: Opportunity to lead on world nuclear physics stage 24

25 e-linac & New Beam line A 10-Year Plan for ISAC First 5-years More beam time, more beams delivered, and more science One electron and one proton beam line in a common tunnel using new common actinide target technology Physics Case: Begin fundamental symmetries, nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure with actinides (unique in world), -NMR e-linac at modest (1/10th) currents and protons at a few microamps Strengthen theory commensurate with success level Second 5-years Three separate simultaneous beam-lines to ISAC Physics case: Nuclear Astrophysics (Neutron rich r-process, proton rich rp-process), and fundamental symmetries (EDM, APV) Allow beta-nmr to triple in running time Opportunity for new radio-tracer development with actinides 25

26 Site map for the future ( ) Proposal: New Front End ISAC Existing Target Stations New Target Stations BL4N Take advantage of the shielded and unused proton hall to add a 50MeV electron driver to supply electrons to the new target area via a separate beamline Develop new ISAC front end to permit three simultaneous RIB beams (two accelerated) 50MeV e-driver BL4N is proposed to deliver 500-MeV protons to two actinide target stations for beam production 500MeV Cyclotron 26

27 Multi-Faceted Motivation for e-linac Science High yield of limited number of neutron rich species but lower isobar contamination Neutron rich rare isotopes niche region complements proton rich rare isotope program Expansion of -NMR essential for unique Canadian facility Explore novel medical-isotope production Technology New driver hones skills on a new technology thus opening future windows of discovery Development of SRF core competence makes Canadian industry 1 of 5 in world Very few unwanted isotopes produced hence safer in our neighbourhood to hi-power ILC advanced accelerator R&D involvement work at edge of technology 4th generation light source technology (keeps experiments and beam-lines of CLS) Partnerships Connects TRIUMF to ASIA: VECC India will co-build & RIKEN photo-fission collaboration Building two-way collaboration with CERN on SPL Compact x-ray Light Source (backscattered Compton) with Canadian Light Source TRIUMF will begin discussions on low beta cavity design and construction Possible Eurisol facility may be the HPSPL High powered target collaboration establishing with CERN ISOLDE at TRIUMF ESS collaboration for beta<1 emerging Industry interest TRIUMF is a member TESLA Technology Collaboration (40+ institutions around world) 27
