The Institute of Particle Physics (IPP) promotes Canadian excellence in particle physics research and advanced education. IPP is a nonprofit organization owned by the Institutional Members.[1] and operated by the Institutional and Individual Members [2] for the benefit of particle physics research in Canada. The Institutional Members appoint a Board of Trustees [3] which has the legal responsibility for the actions of the Institute. The Individual Members elect a Scientific Council [4] which is responsible for the scientific program and the operation of the Institute. The Scientific Council is chaired by the IPP Director, who is appointed by the Board of Trustees and ratified by the Individual Members.

Mission

  • To promote Canadian excellence in particle physics research and advanced education.
  • To maximize the impact of Canadian particle physicists by employing an outstanding group of IPP research scientists playing key roles projects, organizing long-range planning that articulate the community’s scientific priorities and maintaining close ties to the Canadian particle physics laboratories.[5]
  • To serve as the focal point for particle physics activities in Canada and a point of contact for partners in laboratories and universities around the world.
  • To train highly qualified personnel, expose the next generation of Canadians to the opportunities in particle physics world-wide and maintain an active outreach program to all stakeholders including the broader Canadian public.

History

The IPP was established in 1971 to administer anticipated funds from the National Research Council Canada to steer the Canadian program working at Fermilab, Argonne National Lab, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory [6]. IPP formed a Scientific Council, elected by the membership, to be responsible for the Scientific program and the operation of the Institute. IPP Council vetted projects and advocated within the funding regime and internationally. Eventually, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) developed better communication with, and funding model for, experimental groups, alleviating the need for IPP to directly administer research grant funds. [7]

IPP supported projects can be accessed on the groups website. Currently, IPP Scientific Council administers IPP Research Scientist Program. The IPP Director and Council focus on future planning, advocacy with funding sources, and on its activities in international public relations.

Major Resources Support & Facilities

The Institute of Particle Physics (IPP) and the Canadian Institute for Nuclear Physics (CINP) [8]) provide services for the development and fabrication of instrumentation for the Canadian subatomic physics community [9]. These resources are supported, in part, by the NSERC Subatomic physics Major Resources Support Program [10]. Currently, there are facilities at Carleton University, Université de Montréal, University of Victoria, University of Winnipeg, and the Centre for Particle Physics [11] at the University of Alberta. These facilities offer access to a skilled set of technical, engineering, electronics, and physics personnel augmented by laboratories with data acquisition facilities, fabrication areas and machine shops.

Research Scientists

IPP Research Scientists function as research professors, playing leadership roles in the program, supervising graduate students, and applying for funds. Research Scientists achieve tenure, are appointed at their host universities with grant-eligible position such as adjunct professors, and some have become full time faculty. Many Research Scientists have served overseas as the senior resident Canadian on their experiments. They regularly serve on IPP Council and on NSERC and other review committees.

Projects

Many IPP projects have produced important physics results and generated Breakthrough Prize and Nobel Prize winners. Other important discoveries by IPP projects include CP violation [20], neutrino oscillations [21] [22], the Higgs Boson [23], and the founding of multi-messenger astronomy with the observation of neutrinos from the blazar TXS_0506+056[24] .

Community Support

Long Range Planning

An important part of the Institute of Particle Physics’ mission is to coordinate community input for long range planning exercises. This involves solicitations of community input, hosting of town hall meetings where the projects underway and future projects are discussed, and the concerns of the community can be aired. This input results in the preparation of a brief [37], usually solicited by NSERC, that serves as input to the Subatomic Physics long range planning exercise [38].

IPP Early Career Theory Fellowship

The Institute of Particle Physics Early Career Theory Fellowship is designed to enable outstanding theory PhD students and postdocs Postdoctoral_researcher to be present for a period at an international university, laboratory, or institute [39]. The purpose of the fellowship is to encourage scientific collaboration between theorists in Canada and those abroad, and also to enhance the career prospects of the junior researcher.

IPP High School Teacher Awards

The Institute of Particle Physics has supported Canadian high school teachers attending the CERN high school teacher program [40]

IPP Summer Student Program

The Institute of Particle Physics supports Canadian undergraduate students participating in the CERN summer student program[41] [42]
