- John Behr (TRIUMF)
The Electron−Ion Collider (EIC) is a major new collider facility to be built on Long Island, New York, by the end of the current decade. At the EIC, polarized electrons will collide with polarized protons, polarized light ions, and heavy nuclei at luminosities far beyond what is presently available. The facility will answer several fundamental questions central to the understanding of atoms,...
On behalf of the TITAN collaboration
Nuclear-physics studies are probing into nuclear structure, nucleosynthesis and fundamental interactions, for which high precision and accurate mass measurements are critical inputs. TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) facility employs the Measurement Penning Trap (MPET) to measure masses of exotic nuclei ~1x10-8 accuracy. To improve...
Potassium-40 ($^{40}$K) is a long-lived, naturally occurring radioactive isotope. The decay products are prominent backgrounds for many rare event searches, especially those involving NaI-based scintillators (ex. DAMA, SABRE, COSINUS etc.). The branching ratio of the electron capture directly to the ground state of Argon-40 has never been experimentally measured and presents an unknown...
