TITAN facility MRS

TRIUMF用于原子和核科学的离子阱（TITAN）设施是一个多组件离子阱系统，为原子，核，中微子和粒子物理学领域提供了独特的研究可能性。该系统的设置是为了最大限度地利用短寿命放射性核，因此为位于TRIUMF的世界上最重要的外来束设施ISAC的实验提供了理想的工具。建议用泰坦进行的实验包括高精度的质量测定，以帮助测试粒子物理学的标准模型，测试远离稳定谷的原子核的行为，以更好地了解晕核，具有“中子皮肤”的原子核。其他实验将利用泰坦的独特功能，首次精确测量在寻找无中微子双β衰变中具有关键意义的原子核的跃迁矩阵元素。泰坦还将为激光光谱学提供前所未有的可能性，以获得原子核结构的信息。TITAN允许在基础研究的前沿进行实验，并为加拿大和国际研究界提供独特的科学机会。

The TRIUMF Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) facility is a multi-component ion trap system that provides unique research possibilities in the fields of atomic, nuclear, neutrino and particle physics. The system is set up for maximum performance with short-lived radioactive nuclei, and hence provides an ideal tool for experiments at ISAC, the world's premier exotic beam facility, located at TRIUMF. Proposed experiments to be carried out with TITAN include high precision mass determination for aid in testing the Standard Model of Particle Physics, to test the behavior of nuclei far away from the valley of stability, to gain better understanding of halo nuclei, atomic nuclei with a 'neutron skin'. Other experiments will use the unique features of TITAN to measure precisely for the first time transition matrix elements of nuclei that are of key interest in the search for neutrino-less double beta decay. TITAN will also provide unprecedented possibilities for laser spectroscopy, to gain information of the structure of nuclei. TITAN allows experiments on the forefront of fundamental research and provides unique science opportunity for the Canadian and international research community.
