TRIUMF is Canada’s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. Located on the south campus of UBC at the edge of Pacific Spirit Park, the facility spans 5.1 hectares and houses the world’s largest cyclotron (long green building at right) and a new superconducting electron accelerator that will produce isotopes for science, medicine, and business in the new flagship facility, ARIEL (orange building at centre).
