[Physical Science Division]

Dear Colleagues,

TRIUMF's Science Week will be held at TRIUMF from July 18th to 23rd. The 
schedule can be found below.

The website for these events can be found at 
http://www.triumf.ca/science-week-2016.

Registration is required for all events except the EEC meeting. The 
registration fee is $40.00 CAD and includes the TRIUMF Users' Group 
Annual General Meeting (TUG-AGM), the 5th International ARIEL Science 
Workshop and the Science Week BBQ Social at TRIUMF.

*July 20th - 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 2nd time, the TUG-AGM will be hosting the*TUG Student Prize* and 
the *TUG Student Poster* 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 $100 each) and for the top student poster 
presentation ($150).

The registration for the Best Student Prize Competition closes on May 
22nd, 2016. More information can be found at:

*July 21st - 5th International ARIEL Science Workshop on New Initiatives 
in Experimental Equipment*
The ARIEL Science Workshop series informs the international scientific 
community of the capabilities of ARIEL and ISAC; highlights technical 
progress made on various aspects of the project; identifies unique and 
world-leading scientific goals enabled by ARIEL and ISAC; and identifies 
facility upgrades needed to reach those goals.  With the science program 
expected to come online in 2019 with 8Li and 2020 with electron-driven 
photo fission, this year's workshop will focus on the latter:  new 
initiatives or upgrades to take advantage of ARIEL beams. The workshop 
provides an opportunity for participants to present their plans and 
visions, and to build the collaborations and support needed to realize 
those plans in time for the first ARIEL beams.

The workshop consists of invited and contributed talks.  The invited 
talks will include the status of ARIEL, experience gained from other 
electron-beam facilities, and some nascent experiment plans.  We welcome 
contributed talks on new initiatives, in particular those which will be 
seeking funding in upcoming competitions.  As in past workshops, if you 
would like to contribute, please contact a member of the organizing 
committee before May 31. While we will endeavour to accommodate all 
relevant contributions, those who contact the committee earlier will 
receive higher priority.

Confirmed speakers to date are Dan Lascar, Dennis Muecher, and Andrew 
Macfarlane.

For more information and to contribute, please refer to the TRIUMF 
Science Week 2016 website, http://www.triumf.ca/science-week-2016 .  We 
look forward to seeing you at TRIUMF Science Week.

Sincerely,
The Science Week Organization Committee
