  • (NP-EEC) Meeting (May 10Th – 13Th ) De
    Monday, February 22, 2021 2021 Summer Nuclear Physics Experiment Evaluation Committee1 (NP-EEC) Meeting (May 10th – 13th ) Dear Experimenters, Users & Staff, We hereby notify that TRIUMF will hold a special virtual meeting of the NP-EEC on May 10th-13th 2021. As you all may be aware the Summer 2020 and Winter 2021 meetings were cancelled due to circumstances surrounding COVID19. In order to allow the committee to deal with the large number of returning requests for expired/expiring high-priority experiment shifts, this first meeting post-lockdown will concentrate on those proposals. As such, we will not nominally be accepting new experiment proposals. Submissions that will be accepted are: 1. Progress Reports for H-priority proposals that expired/will expire at the June 2020, January 2021 or June 2022 EEC meetings2 (proponents will be contacted directly). 2. New regular Letters of Intent (where beam or facility development is reQuired; no shifts are requested) 3. Existing Letters of Intent that have had beam developed in 2020 and wish to upgrade to a Full Proposal 4. New Proposals that receive special dispensation from ALD Physical Sciences, based on compelling arguments why they cannot delay submission until Jan 2022 (see below): The purpose of this meeting is to allow expiring high-priority experiments that were prevented from running largely due to beam-time shortages associated with the lockdown in 2020 to extend approval, while managing our experiment shift backlog. As such, the number of high priority shifts that will be available for the EEC to allocate will be approximately equal to the number of expiring shifts.

  • Calgary-Laval Rematch Headlines 52Nd Arcelormittal Dofasco Vanier Cup
    Calgary-Laval rematch headlines 52nd ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup Nov 21, 2016 By Alexander Cole, U Sports Correspondent After 13 exciting weeks of U Sports football, the 52nd ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup, which will be held on Nov. 26 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ont., will come down to a match between the Université de Laval Rouge et Or and the University of Calgary Dinos. The Rouge et Or, who will be appearing in their tenth Vanier Cup match since 1999, were a force to be reckoned with all season, finishing with a record of 7-1. The team was ranked first in the nation by the U Sports top 10, and placed second in the RSEQ conference, just behind their rivals, the Université de Montréal Carabins. Throughout their playoff run, Laval has demonstrated why they are one of the best teams in the nation. In the RSEQ semifinals, the Rouge et Or made quick work of the Concordia Stingers, with a 39-14 victory. The following week, the team narrowly edged the Carabins 20-17 in the Dunsmore Cup championship, thanks to a last minute trick play which saw quarterback Hugo Richard catch the game-winning touchdown. In their most recent contest on Saturday, the Rouge et Or blew out the Laurier Golden Hawks in the Uteck bowl. The Golden Hawks, who were coming off a thrilling comeback victory against the Western Mustangs in the Yates Cup, were no match for the No.1-ranked Rouge et Or, dismantling Laurier 36-6 with Richard passing for two touchdowns and rushing for one.
