First Circular: TRIUMF Science Week 2015

[Science Division]

Dear Colleagues,

As announced previously, TRIUMF's Science Week will be held at TRIUMF 
from July 6th to 11th. The schedule can be found below.

The website for these events can be found at 
http://www.triumf.ca/science-week-2015.

Registration is required for all events except the EEC meetings. The 
registration fee is $25.00 CAD and includes the TRIUMF Users' Group 
Annual General Meeting (TUG-AGM) and the 4th International ARIEL Science 
Workshop, as well as the Public Talk by SNOLAB's director Nigel Smith at 
Science World including a reception, and the Science Week BBQ Social at 
TRIUMF.

_*July 7th/8th - TRIUMF Users' Group Annual General Meeting (TUG AGM)

*_The meeting will feature community-nominated science talks as well as 
a roundtable discussion with TRIUMF's senior management to better align 
& communicate needs, resources, and future plans. We encourage users to 
send discussion items to the TUEC representatives at tug at triumf.ca 
<mailto:tug at triumf.ca>.

For the first time, the TUG-AGM will also be hosting *The Best Student 
Prize Competitions* with generous support from TRIUMF. Finalists will be 
selected on the basis of their CV, an abstract, and one letter of 
recommendation, and will be invited to give an oral presentation or to 
present a poster at the TUG AGM.  There will be cash prizes awarded for 
the student oral presentations (1st prize $500, 2nd prize $250, two 3rd 
prizes $50 each) and for the top student poster presentation ($150). The 
registration for the Best Student Prize Competition opens on March 3rd 
and closes on April 2nd, 2015. More information can be found at 
https://indico.triumf.ca/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1966.

*_July 8th/9th - 4th International ARIEL Science Workshop_*

The Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) 
<http://www.triumf.ca/ariel> will be TRIUMF's flagship facility, 
expanding Canada's capabilities to produce and study isotopes for 
science and medicine. In addition to the e-linac, which is already 
funded, the ARIEL project includes a second proton beamline for rare 
isotope production. Together with the existing proton target for ISAC, 
the parallel operation of 3 RIB production targets at TRIUMF will enable 
a broad spectrum of world-class science.

The scope of the fourth ARIEL Science Workshop is: to inform the 
international scientific community of the capabilities of ARIEL and 
ISAC; to highlight technical progress made on various aspects of the 
project; to identify unique and world-leading scientific goals enabled 
by ARIEL and ISAC; and to identify facility upgrades needed to reach 
those goals. Special attention will be paid to experiments using fission 
products from ARIEL, experimental techniques, and upgrades to 
experimental end stations./
