Major Resource Support for the Particle Physics Group at Université de Montréal

在本提案中，我们要求继续为蒙特利尔大学（UdeM）粒子物理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持。UdeM的粒子物理实验基础设施重新组合了支持卡尔顿大学，圭尔夫大学，拉瓦尔大学，劳伦特大学，麦吉尔大学，蒙特利尔大学和TRIUMF研究人员研究计划的设施。该资源的设施以技术集团为基础，包括电子实验室、机械车间、洁净室和UdeM货车de Graaff串列加速器提供的质子、中子和离子束。这些先进的世界级设施为探测器、读出电子设备和数据采集的建设和研发提供支持。用户列表包括：实验阿尔法，ATLAS，BELLEII，TIGRESS，GRIFFIN，MEDIPIX/TIMEPIX，nEXO，DEAP，PICASSO/皮科，HALO，医学物理研究和探测器研发（SiPM）。该资源还被加拿大国内外其他大学的研究人员使用。蒙特利尔资源在该领域并不标准，在加拿大大学也不常见，它为HQP（博士后研究员，博士和硕士生）的培训提供了一个很好的平台和先进的工具。** 高素质的工作人员保证了资源的技术支持。机械车间设施及其最先进的设备由两名专门从事粒子物理应用的技术人员操作。电子实验室由一名高级物理学家（博士）领导，由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管理员和物理学家（博士）提供。 串联加速器为亚原子物理界提供射束通道，由一名受过物理测量和仪器专业培训的专门技术人员操作和维护。 ** 在此MRS拨款申请中，我们要求对这些基础设施的工资提供部分支持，三年内每年总计359，455美元。还要求每年提供29 500美元的支助，用于资源运作和维护所需的材料、用品和次要设备

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
