TRIUMF: Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics
Annual report, 1968 TRIUMF; Burgerjon, J. J.
Abstract
This report reflects a sharp rise in activities following the announcement on April 16 by the Honourable Jean-Luc Pepin, Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources that funds had been approved. Shortly afterwards, the terms of reference of the TRIUMF Board of Management were ratified by the Boards of Governors of the four participating universities, and the Board proceeded to appoint an Operating Committee for the project. Group leaders responsible for the different areas of research and development were appointed. Progress in the cyclotron and beam transport design has been increasing during the latter part of the year as specialist staff have joined. A Building Committee has been set up and a conceptual building and site layout completed. Specifications for the first stage Office/Laboratory building are ready for call of tenders. A Safety Committee has been appointed and has prepared a proposal concerning the safety requirements of the facility. Engineering firms have been awarded contracts for detailed design of the buildings, cyclotron and ancillary equipment. A project management office has been set up and has completed a first critical path schedule. Five Users Groups have been organized among the interested scientists in the North West. These groups have been examining the experimental use of the facility and the conceptual building layout. Special mention must be made of the completion of the first TRIUMF physics experiment. With extraordinary help from the Rutherford Laboratory, using their Proton Linear Accelerator precise measurements have been made of the lifetime of the H⁻ ion under conditions which pertain to the outer orbit radius for TRIUMF. These measurements were completed most expeditiously and in time to make the necessary adjustments to the cyclotron parameters without delay to our project. On the basis of progress we have already made, I am confident that 1969 will see us a substantial way towards completion of the engineering design of TRIUMF.

| Description |
This report reflects a sharp rise in activities following the
announcement on April 16 by the Honourable Jean-Luc Pepin, Minister
of Energy, Mines and Resources that funds had been approved. Shortly
afterwards, the terms of reference of the TRIUMF Board of Management
were ratified by the Boards of Governors of the four participating
universities, and the Board proceeded to appoint an Operating
Committee for the project.
Group leaders responsible for the different areas of research and
development were appointed. Progress in the cyclotron and beam transport
design has been increasing during the latter part of the year as
specialist staff have joined. A Building Committee has been set up
and a conceptual building and site layout completed. Specifications
for the first stage Office/Laboratory building are ready for call of
tenders. A Safety Committee has been appointed and has prepared a proposal
concerning the safety requirements of the facility. Engineering
firms have been awarded contracts for detailed design of the buildings,
cyclotron and ancillary equipment. A project management office has
been set up and has completed a first critical path schedule. Five
Users Groups have been organized among the interested scientists in
the North West. These groups have been examining the experimental use
of the facility and the conceptual building layout.
Special mention must be made of the completion of the first TRIUMF
physics experiment. With extraordinary help from the Rutherford
Laboratory, using their Proton Linear Accelerator precise measurements
have been made of the lifetime of the H⁻ ion under conditions which
pertain to the outer orbit radius for TRIUMF. These measurements were
completed most expeditiously and in time to make the necessary adjustments
to the cyclotron parameters without delay to our project.
On the basis of progress we have already made, I am confident that 1969
will see us a substantial way towards completion of the engineering
design of TRIUMF.
