McGill has been involved in TRIUMF-led activities for several decades and has held associate membership since 2013.</p> <p>TRIUMF constructed parts of the Large Hadron Collider that ultimately produced Higgs bosons. The co-discovery was made by the ATLAS experiment, and McGill played a key role in the development of the experiment's trigger system.</p> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:33:06 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 1326 at /research /research/article/calculating-odds-nets-professor-big-prize <p>Devising ways of estimating the probability of rare events is a big part of what Professor <a href="https://www.math.mcgill.ca/cgenest/">Christian Genest </a>does each day in his statistical research. He may not have predicted, however, that he would be the 2020 recipient of the John L. Synge Award, as conferred by the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) for outstanding research in any branch of the mathematical sciences.</p> Wed, 04 Jan 2023 21:58:51 +0000 Junji Nishihata 754 at /research /research/article/alfonso-mucci-awarded-royal-society-canadas-miller-medal <p>The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) has today announced the award of the 2020 Willet G.
