• Committee: Stephen Blundel (U of Oxford) Bruce Gaulin (McMaster U) – chair Michel Gringas (U of Waterloo) Elvezio Morenzoni (PSI) Roderick Wasylishen (U of Alberta)
• The MuSR program within the CMMS at TRIUMF has a record of sustained research excellence covering areas of magnetism, superconductivity, semiconducting materials and chemical processes.
• A large investment has been made in the beta--NMR program,… Realizing its scientific potential will require much enhanced access to appropriate beams.
• The CMMS also has an excellent record for training highly qualified personnel,…
• … remains competitive with sister facilities in the UK, Switzerland, and Japan.
• The review panel strongly supports the mission to expand and diversify the CMMS user community.
• This committee is of the view that the success rate of muSR proposals is too high and that some level of oversubscription for the available beamtime will improve the quality of the science output.
• The current expansion program underway for the TRIUMF muon beamlines should provide for the development of the user community and is, in itself, an excellent scientific investment for the future.

100kW eLINAC stage while allowing for converter R&D, beta-NMR
Workshop on High Mass Accelerated Beams in Dec.2011: è Build EBIS and HRS early and exploit with ISAC beam è CFI proposal
