Expert support for experiments at ISAC

此主要资源支持应用程序适用于两名熟练的专家技术人员，以协助利用TRIUMF的ISAC设施进行实验。 我们寻求扩大现有的MRS，为一名技术人员提供资金。增加第二名技术人员将有助于开始一些新的实验。这笔赠款将使人们能够更好地获得技术援助，以帮助ISAC的各种现有和潜在用户。 这些实验由共同申请人和TRIUMF以外的一些实验人员进行，主要来自加拿大、英国、美国，和以色列这些实验涉及各种科学，包括反应截面，核性质，寿命和核天体物理学所需的渐近归一化系数;通过反应和激光光谱学研究的奇异核结构;以及在β衰变和原子宇称违反中寻找新的相互作用和粒子。 本技术人员及时提供了实验工作所需的许多独特技能。我们还将在提案中记录第二名技术人员的需求，以帮助一些启动实验计划。拟议的管理结构（从居住在TRIUMF的任何共同申请人中选择一个或多个学期的轮流主管，以及设施协调员的知识-他们知道即将进行的实验-技术人员的存在）将确保外部用户意识到潜在的帮助。

This Major Resources Support application is for two skilled, expert technicians to assist experiments exploiting the ISAC facility at TRIUMF. We seek to expand an existing MRS that funds one technician. Adding a 2nd technician would help a number of new experiments starting. This grant would enable better access to technical assistance to help a wide variety of existing and potential users of ISAC. The experiments are performed by the co-applicants and a number of experimenters outside of TRIUMF, primarily from Canada, the U.K., the U.S.A., and Israel. The experiments address a wide variety of science including reaction cross-sections, nuclear properties, lifetimes, and asymptotic normalization coefficients needed for nuclear astrophysics; structure of exotic nuclei investigated by reactions and laser spectroscopy; and searches for new interactions and particles in beta decay and atomic parity violation. The present technician provides a number of unique skills needed in a timely fashion for experiments to work. We will also document in the proposal the need for a 2nd technician to help a number of starting experimental programs. The proposed management structure (rotating supervisor chosen from any co-applicant resident at TRIUMF for one academic term or more, and knowledge of the facility coordinators-- who know what experiments are coming-- that the technicians exist) would make sure that outside users are aware of the potential help.
