Grant: Subatomic Physics Envelope - Major Resources Support Program
Université de Montréal
$200,000.00
Major Resource Support for the Particle Physics Group at University of Montreal
FY 2015-16
Summary
The infrastructure for Particle Physics experiments at the University of Montreal
(the Resource) regroups facilities supporting the research programs of
researchers of University of British Columbia, Laurentian University, McGill
University, University of Guelph, University of Montreal, TRIUMF and University
of Victoria. The research program involves 11 grant applicant and co-applicants
from these universities and TRIUMF. The Resource major facilities consist of an
electronics laboratory, a machine shop, a clean room, direct access to proton
and neutron beams delivered by the Tandem accelerator of University of Montreal.
These state-of-the-art, world-class facilities, regrouped in the Resource,
provide the support for construction and R&D for detectors, readout
electronics, trigger, data acquisition and neutron and proton beams used for
detector testing. They also provide a computing support. The various technical
and professional resources are organized as a support unit: The Groupe
Technologique (GT) supported by a MRS grant, the University of Montreal and industrial
contracts. The Resource is also used by researchers from other universities
within and outside Canada, worldwide. The Resource, not standard in the field
and not common in Canadian universities, provides formidable tools for the
training of HQP (Postdoctoral Fellows, PhD and MSc students). The applicant and
co-applicants are active in major experiments at CERN (ALPHA, ATLAS and ATLAS
upgrade-TGC-NSW, TIMEPIX), SNOLAB (PICASSO/PICO, EXO, HALO, SNO+), SuperKEKB (Belle-II),
TRIUMF (ALPHA, GRIFFIN, DESCANT, SPICE, TIGRESS) that use the Resource
facilities. Examples of users of the Resource facilities from other
universities and companies within and outside Canada are: IBS (Institute of
Basic Science Daejeon South Korea - the Rare Isotope Science Project (RAON)),
Laval University (Medical Physics - automated vol
