IEEE UBC Student Branch – TRIUMF Lab Tour
Join IEEE UBC Student Branch for an exciting lab tour at TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator centre, located at UBC!
This tour offers students a unique opportunity to explore TRIUMF's research facilities and gain firsthand insight into particle physics, accelerator technologies, and scientific instrumentation.
During the tour, participants will follow the journey of a proton, from its origin in a hydrogen atom to its destination in experimental targets and detectors. The guided tour covers much of TRIUMF's 13-acre site, including two of its largest research halls, and provides a closer look at the experiments and technologies behind cutting-edge scientific research.
Whether you're interested in particle physics, electron devices, instrumentation, or accelerator technologies, this is a great opportunity to explore real-world engineering applications!
