It is a core centre that reports directly to the Vice President of Research, and therefore, there are no departmental limitations. Anyone can explore any science with state-of-the-art equipment and professional staff. Bring a problem, regardless of discipline or the nature of the material (hard or soft), and the SSSC will help you tackle it. The SSSC is equipped with approximately $18 M of scientific instruments (and growing) and is open to trained users 24\/7. There are over 200 students and postdoctoral fellows and 100 PI using the SSSC in any one year. The SSSC has over 1000 alumni and over 2500 papers, presentations, and theses have been supported by the SSSC to date. Additionally, SSSC users have received over $20M in grants over the last 5 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instrumentation contained within the SSSC includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8211;\u00a0 X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 High-resolution Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Raman Microscopy and Time-gated Raman spectroscopy<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy (ESR)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Femto-second Lasers used for Fluorescence Lifetime (TCSPC), Up-Conversion,<br \/>\n2-photon Confocal Microscopy, Single Event Effect (SEE)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Nanoindentation and Tribological Instrumentation<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Optical Profilometry using Coherent Scanning Interferometry (CSI)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#Top\">Return to top<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"STOR-M\"><\/a><strong>STOR-M<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">First operated in 1987, the Saskatchewan TORus Modified (STOR-M) is currently the only tokamak in Canada!\u00a0 Developed at the University of Saskatchewan Plasma Physics Lab under the direction of Prof. Skarsgard and Prof. Hirose, STOR-M continues to contribute to humanity\u2019s understanding of plasma physics and engineering, required to one day build nuclear fusion power plants!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cap.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CAP-2025-Tour-STOR-M.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to read more about the STOR-M facility<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#Top\">Return to top<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 Local Organizing Committee is making available an exciting group of tours during the 2025 CAP Congress, as listed below.\u00a0 An online sign-up form for several of these tours is being developed and should be available shortly.\u00a0 For all other tours, sign-up forms will be available in the registration area.
