TRIUMF: Guide for experimenters

The purpose of this site is to provide all the necessary information to allow a user to propose, plan, and run an experiment at TRIUMF. It is managed by the Beam Delivery group within the Accelerator Division and should be used in conjunction with the Experimental Program site managed by the Science Division.

This wiki is a work in progress and will be updated frequently. Please forward all comments, queries, and suggestions to Colin Morton.
