The 5-Year Plan

2009 Mar 13 777

5-Year PlanBuilding on Opportunities

• TRIUMF is poised for a transformation– Opportunities, skills, and past investments are coming together

• Future plan seizes 3 new strategic opportunities– Platform technology: superconducting RF (SRF)

• Accelerators, medical-isotope production, flue-gas scrubbing– Platform technology: nuclear medicine

• Lead emerging revolution – Playing a major role in world’s largest scientific project: LHC

• Canadian Physics Analysis Centre & Tier-1 Data Centre

• Requested investments – $328M for 2010-2015 operations– $60M for capital infrastructure (buildings)

2009 Mar 13 888

World Leadership in RIBs• Goal of 5-yr plan – exploit SRF technologies for RIBs

• Unique moment to seize scientific discovery opportunity– Study neutron-rich nuclei important for element abundances, supernova

explosions, neutron-star crusts, shell structure, theory advances, universal nuclear density functional, 3-nucleon interactions,...

– Great opportunity in fundamental symmetries (one of holy grails in nuclear physics) --- Prize winning science

– TRIUMF has strong fleet of experiments & eager young researchers– Large international user base wanting and waiting for varied beams – Accelerator team strong & unique in Canada

• Canada will have world-unique scientific reach in rare-isotope beams with both protons & electrons on actinide targets

2009 Mar 13 9

World-Class Research with High Impact

• Materials science– Beryllium targets produce 8Li for beta-NMR studies

• Canadian leadership – quadruple beam time

– Depth-resolved electronic and magnetic measurements at nanometer scale unique in world

• Critical tool for study of single-molecule magnets• Novel storage media technologies, quantum computing

9

2009 Mar 13 1010

Nuclear-Medicine Initiative • Global revolution in nuclear medicine taking place

• “Canada has a history of firsts in devices and discoveries,….• “Canada has a much better collaborative environment than the USA”

– Terri Lohnes, National Manager, GE Healthcare Canada, in discussions with TRIUMF about a national leadership role in nuclear medicine

• TRIUMF is partnering with other institutions to lead Canada in this transformation– BC Cancer Agency, Pacific Parkinson’s Research Centre, Centre for Drug

Research and Development, MDS Nordion, Advanced Applied Physics Solutions, Life Sciences BC, GE Healthcare* …

– MOU* in preparation with Cross Cancer & BCCA: common licensing of FDG production & pursue clinical trials for PET isotopes, FES,FLT...

• TRIUMF/UBC leading National CFI in radiotracer network

Status of 5-year Plan Process

• International Peer Review report transmitted to NRC • Presented to NRC Executive by Chair Rolf Heuer (Feb)• ACT-I (science case) & ACT-II (financials) complete• NRC Council presentation next Wednesday

– After dinner presentation

• Council will vote next day on $ amount for MC• Infrastructure proposal process “ends” this month

– Working with Province and Industry Canada– $1B in matching funds from feds with Province– Mainly universities and colleges but others too under consideration

• MC will be prepared with Industry Canada for Cabinet (summer)

2009 Mar 13 11

2009 Mar 13 1212

Role of BC Province• TRIUMF supported by network of funding partners

– Govm’t of Canada through Industry Canada (via NRC), CFI, NSERC, CIHR, ... for operations, materials, & supplies

– Traditionally, Province of BC for capital construction (buildings)

• Success of 5YP is contingent upon $60M new construction– E-linac tunnel and

target hall– Nuclear medicine labs– Purpose-built data

centre

• TRIUMF working closely with BC and Federal Government to secure this investment

Selling the 5-year Plan

• Continual strong effort to connect with civil service and political representatives at all levels

• Minister of State: Science & Technology• ADM Matthew King Industry Canada• DM Don Fast BC Province• Several BC MLA’s and 2 Federal MPs• BOM to engage in process next

The 5-year plan is an opportunity for TRIUMF and the university community to

position Canada as a lead nation in science & technology

Canada's Economic Action Plan: “We are building a new knowledge-based economy…one where our scientists and entrepreneurs can find the support they need to get their ideas to market; and one where investors will find greater opportunity.”—By Tony Clement, Minister of Industry

“More than ever before, science holds the key to our survival as a planet and our security and prosperity as a nation. It is time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and worked to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology.”—Barack Obama, U.S. President
