Accelerators such as the Triangle Universities Meson Facility (TRIUMF) in British Columbia produce secondary beams of pions by having an intense primary proton beam strike a target. Such “meson factories“ have been used for many years to study the interaction of pions with nuclei and, hence, the strong nuclear force.
