MRS for subatomic physics at the University of Victoria

这项拨款申请是为在维多利亚大学工作的一名高技能个人提供持续的薪金支持，他是加拿大亚原子物理和加速器物理项目的重要资源。这位探测器技术专家为加拿大亚原子和加速器物理旗舰项目做出了重要贡献，他的专业知识需要与加拿大各地的亚原子物理学家合作，维护现有的探测器系统并帮助开发新系统。受益的研究项目包括ATLAS、T2K、Belle-II、ALTAIR/STARCaL、国际直线对撞机和ARIEL。维多利亚州亚原子物理和加速器研究中心（VISPA）的一部分，利用了TRIUMF（3名工作人员）和维多利亚大学（行政协助）的资源投资。该资源的支持者以及卡尔顿大学和皇后大学的资源在一个共同的优先级委员会的协助下运作。董事会通过审查使用储备资源基金提供的设施的新申请，为使用储备资源基金设施提供便利。董事会根据标准的NSERC标准评估这些请求。随着正在进行的任务完成，这些研究所的MRS经理将利用这一建议来分配人力。董事会亦会获提供资料，说明管理系统雇员正在进行的工作的进度和状况。董事会目前包括以下成员：Kevin Graham（卡尔顿大学）、Dean Karlen（维多利亚大学）、Tom Mattison （UBC大学）、Brigitte Vachon（麦吉尔大学）、Mark Boulay（皇后大学）、Blair Jamieson（温尼伯大学）、Akira Konaka（凯富大学）和Michael Roney （IPP大学）。董事会在必要时，每年至少召开一次电话/视频会议，并通过电子邮件进行沟通，以回应访问MRS资源的请求。

This grant request is for the continued salary support of a highly-skilled individual based at the University of Victoria who is an essential resource for subatomic physics and accelerator physics projects in Canada. The detector technologist has made crucial contributions to flagship Canadian subatomic and accelerator physics projects, and his expertise is needed to maintain existing detector systems and to help develop new systems, in collaboration with subatomic physicists across Canada. Research programs that have benefited include ATLAS, T2K, Belle-II, ALTAIR/STARCaL, International Linear Collider, and ARIEL. The MRS at UVic leverages resource investments from TRIUMF (3 staff) and the University of Victoria (administrative assistance) as part of the Victoria Subatomic Physics and Accelerator Research Centre (VISPA).The proponents of this MRS resource and the MRS resources at Carleton and Queen's University operate with the assistance of a common prioritization board. The board facilitates access to the MRS facilities by reviewing new requests for use of the facilities provided by the MRS funds. The board assesses these requests based on standard NSERC criteria. The MRS managers at the institutes will use this advice to assign manpower as it becomes available as on-going tasks are completed. The Board is also given information about the progress and status of on-going work undertaken by the MRS employees. The Board currently includes the following members: Kevin Graham (Carleton), Dean Karlen (U Vic), Tom Mattison (UBC), Brigitte Vachon (McGill), Mark Boulay (Queens), Blair Jamieson (Winnipeg), Akira Konaka (TRIUMF), and Michael Roney (IPP). The board meets when necessary and at least once per year by phone/video and communicates by email in order to respond to requests for access to MRS resources.
