The CPP+ MRS personnel, for whom we request continued support, combined synergistically with comprehensive infrastructure resources at the UofA (Alberta), has enabled the creation of the unique CPP+ national resource. This resource enables and facilitates the effective access of SAP researchers to a number of key international centres, namely: BNL (USA), CERN (Switzerland), JLab (USA), the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (Antarctica), SNOLAB, and TRIUMF. Current  CPP+ projects range from astroparticle physics at SNOLAB, IceCube/IceCube(Upgrade) and P-ONE,  to QCD physics with the SHMS  at JLab. Thence, to Collider physics with ATLAS and MoEDAL  at the LHC  and accelerator physics for the HL-LHC. In order to maximize  accessibility, the CPP+ Resource's Operating Committee (OPCOM) endeavours to provide free, fair  merit driven, access to all SAP researchers. This access is web- based and available primarily via links available on the IPP and CINP websites publicized  at appropriate venues.  Our OPCOM is now actively working with other MRS SAP groups in Canada's SAP community to establish a pan--Canadian board to optimize the management of MRS- funded facilities throughout Canada. This organization would supercede our OPCOM and ensure that the various MRS- funded resources are managed optimally  at the pan--Canadian level. We expect the load on our MRS resource to increase considerably over the next grant cycle. In the collider physics arena  we have continuing ATLAS Upgrade work, - for example, on the ATLAS Forward Proton project and the upgrade of the LUCID lumi-monitor for the HL--LHC. In the case of the MoEDAL experiment we have the development of the Canadian led MoEDAL--MAPP experiment at the LHC,  for LHC's Run-3 and beyond. For the LHC machine itself, there is our upcoming work on the Wire Correction System for the HL--LHC at CERN, to help counter beam--beam effects. There has also been a huge expansion of effort on astroparticle physics in Canada due to the creation of the McDonald Institute, resulting in a major increase in effort in this arena  at Queen's and the partner institutes: Alberta, UBC, Carleton, Laurentian, McGill, Montreal and Toronto, TRIUMF and SNOLAB. Critical new projects in this area, involving our MRS researchers, include:  PICO-500 construction at the UofA, the main location for the inner vessel integration of PICO-500;  the CFI funded DarkSide with significant responsibilities for the acrylic TPC; and,  the  Argo detector development. Another issue increasing the work load of our MRS  resource is the uptick in work due to the end of severe covid related restrictions to our research effort.  To sustain this national CPP+ MRS resource we need to retain support for our engineer (M. Baker), detector technologist (R. Soluk) , and electronics technician (P. Davis). Considering the increased workload described above, we also request a half position for a technologist with electronic and/or mechanical CAD capability.

我们要求持续支持的CPP+ MRS人员与UOFA（艾伯塔省）的全面基础设施资源结合在一起，使创建了独特的CPP+国家资源。该资源可以使SAP研究人员有效地进入许多关键国际中心，即：BNL（美国），CERN（瑞士），JLAB（美国），Icecube中微子天文台（Antarctica），Snolab和Triumf。当前的CPP+项目范围从Snolab，Icecube/IceCube（升级）和P-ONE的Astroparpicle物理学到JLAB的SHMS的QCD物理。然后，在LHC和HL-LHC的LHC和加速器物理学上与Atlas和Moedal进行对撞机物理。为了最大程度地提高可访问性，CPP+资源的运营委员会（OPCOM）努力提供免费，公平的功绩驱动，访问所有SAP研究人员。此访问是基于Web的，可通过在适当场所公开的IPP和INP网站上可用的链接可用。我们的OPCOM现在正在与加拿大SAP社区的其他SAP小组积极合作，以建立一个泛加拿大董事会，以优化整个加拿大MRS资助的设施的管理。该组织将取代我们的OPCOM，并确保在泛加拿大级别对各种MRS资助的资源进行最佳管理。我们预计MRS资源上的负载将在下一个赠款周期中简洁地增加。在对撞机物理领域，我们继续进行了Atlas升级工作，例如，在Atlas Forward项目和HL-LHC的Lucid Lumi-Monitor的升级上。在Moestal实验的情况下，我们在LHC的LHC Run-3及以后进行了加拿大LED Moedal-Mapp实验的发展。对于LHC计算机本身，我们即将在CERN的HL-LHC上进行的有关电线校正系统的工作，以帮助反束束效应。由于麦当劳研究所的创建，加拿大在加拿大的Astroparticle物理学方面也大大扩展了努力，从而在皇后区和合作伙伴学院的竞技场上努力大大增加：艾伯塔省，UBC，UBC，Carleton，Laurentian，Laurentian，McGill，McGill，Montreal，Montreal和Toronto和Torimo，Triumf和Snoliumf和Snolobab。涉及我们的MRS研究人员的关键新项目包括：UOFA的PICO-500建筑，这是PICO-500内部船只整合的主要位置； CFI资助了Darkside对丙烯酸TPC的重大责任；并且，Argo探测器的开发。增加了MRS资源的工作负担的另一个问题是，由于严重的研究工作限制了严重的相关限制，因此工作的增加。为了维持这种国家CPP+ MRS资源，我们需要保留对工程师（M. Baker），探测器技术（R. Soluk）和电子技术（P. Davis）的支持。考虑到上述工作量增加，我们还要求对具有电子和/或机械CAD能力的技术的一半位置。
