Our Teams & Tools

TRIUMF is home to nearly 600 staff and students whose broad scope of knowledge and expertise provide us with the capacity to answer fundamental questions that are beyond the reach of any single Canadian institution. Because of our large-scale research facilities, unique opportunities have emerged for cutting-edge research and technology.

As the only laboratory operating at this scope and scale in Canada, TRIUMF tackles problems too large and complex for any single researcher or institution. Our state-of-the-art accelerator complex — featuring the world’s largest cyclotron and the most powerful superconducting electron linear accelerator — is the foundation upon which our competitive advantage rests. We are also a central conduit for integrating Canada with the global scientific community through participation in game-changing big science projects.

Our Teams & Tools leverage TRIUMF’s unique infrastructure, network, and role in the global community in pursuit of our Research Topics.
