The TRIUMF Facility Located in Vancouver, Canada Research is performed locally using the world’s largest 500MeV Cyclotron As well as internationally at CERN-ATLAS BNL-KOPIO KEK-Neutrino Experiment ~400 full-time employees Nuclear Physics Particle Physics Astrophysics Material Science Proton & PET Therapy Radiopharmaceuticals Radioactive beams Microchip design Canada’s National Laboratory for sub-atomic physics

4. Politics & Funding TRIUMF 5 yr budget cycle runs 2005-2009, TRIUMF ATLAS Tier1 centre is one of the main TRIUMF programs to be undertaken in that 5 year plan However, the Canadian political climate has been somewhat turbulent for the last year with an election expected to be called at the end of the year, consequently funding for ATLAS at TRIUMF has not been fully secured? TRIUMF’s 5 yr budget request for an ATLAS Tier1 centre was $8M Capital, with 9 more additional FTE’s Two FTE’s were hired last year for ATLAS at TRIUMF Until Funding is fully secured TRIUMF’s Core Computing & Networking Group is providing the initial 10G infrastructure, along with CANARIE and HEPnet Canada.

5. The ATLAS Experiment 2000 physicists in 34 countries ATLAS Canada ~0.6 TIER1 ~80 Physicists 4.5% of ATLAS Colab.
