Munich Sees Tevatron Events Live
|
|
The Art Facade
in Munich |
|
Particle events of the CDF and DZero detectors are part of a
unique night-time art display in Munich, Germany called
"I see what I see not." Artist Tim Otto Roth transforms a
700 square-foot area of light panels, mounted on the façade
of a building in downtown Munich, into a display of science
in action. Inspired by telescope images that reveal the pixel
structure of the camera, Roth has chosen images from many
astrophysics experiments, including images produced by
particle collider experiments
to create a steady flux of blinking lights on the 76 panels that
can be controlled individually. The live show of the
Fermilab-related creations is on display this week from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. CST. The images are available online(text in German).

Gallery Chamber Series Presents Steven Lubin
The Fermilab Gallery Chamber Series presents Steven Lubin this Sunday, April
4 at 2:30 p.m. in the Wilson Hall Art Gallery. A limited number of tickets
|
Steven Lubin |
are still available for this final concert in the series.
As an early musician, in his sub-specialty as fortepianist, Lubin
was the first to perform
Mozart concertos in period style in New York's principal halls.
His groundbreaking recordings of several Mozart concertos for
Arabesque served as an introduction for many listeners world-wide to
period-style performance of this repertoire. The concert on Sunday will
feature music by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

Mixed Messages: House Appropriations Hearing on Homeland Security S&T
If viewed from a bottom-line perspective, yesterday's appropriations
hearing on the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science
and Technology Directorate was, on the whole, positive.
In his opening statement, Harold Rogers (R-KY), chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, commended DHS Under Secretary Charles McQueary for maintaining the necessary "disciplined system to guide homeland security research and development efforts over the long-haul." On a number of fronts, however, subcommittee members expressed frustration and in some cases anger about the directorate's efforts in the last year.

Sports fans at CDF are pinning their hopes for this year's men's
basketball NCAA championship on Duke University, the only
collaborating institution to make it to this year's Final Four.
In the "CDF vs. DZero Bracket," Duke, the University of Illinois
and the University of Pittsburgh (10-6 combined record) led CDF to a victory
over DZero (4-6). Duke leads CDF's institutions with four tournament
wins so far, while the University of Kansas led the DZero
institutions with three wins.
Collaborating institutions for the CDF and DZero collaborations
were well represented in this year's group of 65 NCAA tournament
teams, with seven of CDF's and six of DZero's collaborating
instutitions making the trip.
This is Duke's tenth trip to the Final Four in 19 years,
and a win in the championship game would bring Duke its
fourth NCAA men's basketball title-championship. To make
it to the April 5 championship game, Duke must first face
the University of Connecticut on April 3 at 7:47 p.m. Central time.
