Alth ough the TRIUMF cyclotron was initially built for basic research in nuclea r and particle physics\, there have been a number of practical application s of the proton beams. These include the treatment of cancers of the eye\, radiation testing of electronics and materials for space\, aircraft and g round level effects and the production of medical isotopes.\n\nBio:\n\nEwa rt Blackmore received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from the University of British Columbia in 1967 after a B.Sc. in engineering physics from Queen ’s University. He joined TRIUMF in 1969 and was an important member of t he team that built the 500 MeV cyclotron. At TRIUMF he has worked in accel erator technology\, instrumentation for particle and nuclear physics resea rch\, applications of particle beams as well as being the engineering divi sion head for many years. From 1995-2007 he was project leader for Canada ’s $41.5 million contribution of accelerator components to the Large Had ron Collider at CERN. Since 1995 he also developed the TRIUMF proton thera py facility and the proton and neutron radiation test facilities. Present research activities involve the use of muons and low energy protons for SE E testing.\n\nRegistration is optional\, but we want to know who to expect .\n10:00 AM P.D.T.
