The neutron-rich unbound 7 He nucleus has been the subject of many experimental investigations. While
the ground-state 3=2! resonance is well established, there is a controversy concerning the excited 1=2!
resonance reported in some experiments as low lying and narrow (ER " 1 MeV, ! # 1 MeV) while in
others as very broad and located at a higher energy. This issue cannot be addressed by ab initio theoretical
calculations based on traditional bound-state methods. We introduce a new unified approach to nuclear
bound and continuum states based on the coupling of the no-core shell model, a bound-state technique,
with the no-core shell model combined with the resonating-group method, a nuclear scattering technique.
Our calculations describe the ground-state resonance in agreement with experiment and, at the same time,
predict a broad 1=2! resonance above 2 MeV.

By 2016, all current computing equipment
(cpu, disk & network) needs a full refresh
Current tape infrastructure limited by physical
space
–  new satellite room required past 2015
–  new tape storage infrastructure needed
–  space for future growth
Nov. 13, 2013
In the next 5YP:
–  FY15 Q1 : new satellite server room + tape
expansion
–  FY16 Q2 : refresh of 2012 equipment + expansion
–  FY18 Q4 : expansion + refresh of 2014 equipment
Estimated project costs (next 5YP):
–  Renovations: $0.5M
–  operating (excluding personnel): $0.3M/yr
–  Capital for computing equipment: $4.5M

5-Year Plan 2015-2020
The 5-Year Plan allows us to realize our vision:
•  Forefront rare isotope science program with ISAC and
ARIEL (Goals 1,2 ✔)
•  Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Astrophysics, Fundamental Symmetries
•  Continued leading involvement in international particle
physics projects and breakthrough discoveries (Goal 3 ✔)
•  ATLAS, T2K, ALPHA,…
•  Building the vision of the Electric Dipole Moment Lab
(Goals1, 2, 3 ✔)
• 
neutron (UCN/nEDM), atom (RnEDM), and electron (FrEMD)
•  Exploit the opportunity to help universities to
strengthen Canadian nuclear & particle physics
community via joint positions

Lost opportunities
Scenario B – Status Quo, Increased Risk (Goals 1, 2, 3)
•  Subatomic physics program holds status quo but no investments
into facility upgrades & international projects
•  Focus on rare isotope science, ATLAS, UCN - sacrifices elsewhere
•  Bare bones operations (cover fixed costs: detector lab, computing, seminars, visitors)
•  No matching of university investments into TRIUMF science (joint pos.)
•  No support of international endeavors or new science infrastructure
•  Budget impact on accelerator operations effects science
è reduced output resulting from lower availability
è less beam development, fewer new isotopes

Eroding leadership
Scenario C – reduced resources, restricted program (Goals 1,2,3)
•  Laboratory concentrates research on particle and nuclear physics
•  Reduce support for staff and operating activities with targeted, deep cuts
•  Increased chances of major failure(s) leading to extended downtime
è  reduced science and HQP output, loss of users
§ 
reduced RIB hours, unreliable operation  ISAC users go elsewhere
è  loss of competitiveness, international leadership, and reputation;
diminished relevance
§  ARIEL photo-fission beams substantially later than competition (GANIL, FRIB, FAIR)
§  Fail to deliver on international commitment for UCN/nEDM
§  Minimal contributions to international detector projects (ATLAS, T2K, …)
è  Canada would lose capability to excel in Particle & Nuclear Physics,
one of the drivers for its leading position in Physics and Astronomy
