In this proposal we request continuation of the financial support for the Major Resource for the Particle Physics Group at the Université de Montréal (UdeM) and for researchers from other universities and institutions using the facilities offered by the Resource. This infrastructure for particle physics experiments at UdeM regroups facilities supporting the research programs of researchers at Carleton University, University of Guelph, Université Laval, Laurentian University, McGill University, Université de Montréal and TRIUMF. The facilities of the Resource are based on the Groupe Technologique (GT) and consist of an electronics laboratory, machine shop, clean rooms and access to proton, neutron and ion beams delivered by the UdeM Van de Graaff tandem accelerator. These state-of-the art, world class facilities provide the support for construction and R&D for detectors, readout electronics and data acquisition. The list of users includes: the experiments ALPHA, ATLAS, BELLEII, TIGRESS, GRIFFIN, MEDIPIX/TIMEPIX, nEXO, DEAP, PICASSO/PICO, HALO, medical physics research and detector R&D (SiPM). The Resource is also used by researchers from other universities within and outside Canada, worldwide. The Montreal Resource is not standard in the field and not common at Canadian universities and provides an excellent platform and advanced tools for the training of HQP (Posdoctoral Fellows, PhD and MSc students). ******The technical support of the Resource is assured by its highly qualified personnel. The machine shop facility with its state of the art equipment is operated by two technicians specialized in particle physics applications. The electronics laboratory is directed by a senior physicist (PhD), assisted by an electronics technician and an experienced engineer-physicist (PhD). The computing and software support of the Resource is provided by an experienced system manager and physicist (PhD). The Tandem accelerator providing beam access to the sub-atomic physics community is operated and maintained by a dedicated technician trained and specialized in physics measurements and instrumentation. ******In this MRS grant request, we ask for partial support of these infrastructure salaries for a total of $359,455/year for three years. A support of $29,500/year is also requested for materials, supplies and minor equipment needed for the Resource operation and maintenance

在本提案中，我们要求继续向蒙特兰萨塔尔大学（UdeM）粒子物理小组的主要资源以及使用该资源提供的设施的其他大学和机构的研究人员提供财政支助。UdeM的粒子物理实验基础设施重组了卡尔顿大学、圭尔夫大学、拉瓦尔大学、劳伦森大学、麦吉尔大学、蒙特雷蒙塔尔大学和凯旋大学的研究人员的研究项目。资源的设施以集团技术（GT）为基础，由电子实验室、机械车间、洁净室和由UdeM Van de Graaff串联加速器提供的质子、中子和离子束组成。这些最先进的，世界一流的设施为探测器，读出电子和数据采集的建设和研发提供支持。用户列表包括：实验ALPHA， ATLAS， BELLEII， TIGRESS， GRIFFIN, MEDIPIX/TIMEPIX, nEXO， DEAP, PICASSO/PICO， HALO，医学物理研究和探测器研发（SiPM）。该资源也被来自加拿大境内外其他大学的研究人员使用。蒙特利尔资源在该领域不标准，在加拿大大学也不常见，为HQP（博士后研究员，博士和硕士学生）的培训提供了一个很好的平台和先进的工具。******资源的技术支持由其高素质的人员保证。拥有先进设备的机械车间由两名专门从事粒子物理应用的技术人员操作。电子实验室由一名资深物理学家（博士）指导，一名电子技术员和一名经验丰富的工程物理学家（博士）协助。资源的计算和软件支持由经验丰富的系统经理和物理学家（博士）提供。Tandem加速器为亚原子物理社区提供光束通道，由经过物理测量和仪器专业培训的专业技术人员操作和维护。******在这项MRS拨款申请中，我们要求在三年时间里，每年为这些基础设施工资提供359,455美元的部分支持。还要求每年支助$29 500，用于资源业务和维修所需的材料、用品和小型设备
