Two Records Set on Monday Morning Early Monday morning, at 12:56 a.m., the Tevatron achieved a new record peak luminosity of 8.3 E31, about six percent higher than the record set less than two weeks ago. Independently, the Recycler set a record for the number of antiprotons stored. On June 21, about 1,380 billion antiprotons circled the Recycler storage ring, the largest amount ever. Congratulations! |

Schaumburg Computer Teacher Paints Mural in Fermilab Greenhouse | ||
| ||
|
Marlene Rosecrans, a computer teacher from Schaumburg, spent most of last
week as a volunteer painting an educational prairie mural in Fermilab's
greenhouse. The mural, which covers one wall and twelve feet of floor
space, will teach visiting school groups about the root lengths of prairie
plants such as Indian Grass, Big Blue Stem, and Compass Plant.
Rosecrans was once a college student of Bob Betz, the biologist who
orchestrated Fermilab's 1100 acre prairie restoration in the 1970s.
She became interested in prairie vegetation through biodiversity
classes at the Department of Natural Resources, and has since contributed
to the prairie restoration at Lakeview School in Schaumburg. "We'll lose
the new generation unless we educate them," said Rosecrans, who has also
taught math and chemistry. "If you don't teach it, they won't respect it."

FYI: AIP Bulletin of Science Policy News FY 2005 House Appropriations Committee Report: DOE Office of Science The all-important FY 2005 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill and its accompanying report have been released. The following are selections from House Appropriations Committee report 108-554 regarding the Office of Science....
HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS:
The Committee recommends a total of $753,380,000 for high energy physics, an increase of $16,000,000 over the budget request. The control level is at the High Energy Physics level. The additional funds are provided to meet increased electricity costs at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and to increase operating time and enhance user support at SLAC and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The Committee supports the Department's collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), and the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM), and encourages NASA to maintain the planned schedule for these missions

Good Morning!
What is lattice QCD and why is this conference at Fermilab? Better lattice QCD calculations are needed to interpret some of the most important experimental results in particle physics. Recent advances in doing the calculations have led to exciting new results that are being discussed at the conference.
Fermilab provides physicists with one of the world's leading computing facilities specially designed for lattice QCD calculations. We serve much the same role in this area of theoretical physics that we do for experimental particle physics. We are able to take on this critical role because of our experience with large computer farms and because of our strong group of theoretical physicists working at the forefront of lattice QCD.

June 18 - June 21 - During this 72 hour period operations established two stores. Those stores and an existing store provided approximately 65 hour and 37 minutes of luminosity to the experiments and the accelerator experts. - Recycler stashed antiprotons three times - Booster and Linac suffered from many RF trips - On the Monday midnight shift the TeV set a NEW LUMINOSITY RECORD with a luminosity of 82.3E30
