Established in 1968 in Vancouver, TRIUMF is Canada’s particle accelerator centre. With its 520 MeV cyclotron and – in the near future – a superconducting electron linear accelerator as drivers, TRIUMF provides beams of short-lived radioactive isotopes, muons as well as protons and neutrons, for science, medicine, and business.

In collaboration with 20 Canadian universities, TRIUMF is pushing the frontiers in isotope science and innovation, as well as developing technologies to address fundamental and applied problems in particle and nuclear physics, and the materials and life sciences.

TRIUMF has been using EPICS since 1996.
