Annual report scientific activities 1999

This report summarizes the activities at TRIUMF for the year 1999. The science program at ISAC started in earnest and several preliminary results were achieved. The TRIUMF collaboration with CERN on the provision of a Canadian contribution to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) continues to be a major success. The parity experiment achieved a final result for its measurement of the longitudinal polarization asymmetry in elastic p-p scattering at 221 MeV, and charge asymmetry breaking experiment collected all of its data. The condensed matter program using the technique of uSR continues to have a very large appetite for beam and pursues a varied menu of science. The life science activities at TRIUMF are dominated by the PET group which collaborates with the Neurodegenerative Disorders Centre at the UBC Hospital
