Arts Series: Jazz Quartet Free Flight at Fermilab on July 31 | ||
| ||
|
The music of Free Flight has turned jazz fans into classical buffs and
classical audiences toward jazz. From Bach to Miles Davis to the Beatles,
the range of musical influences exhibited by Free Flight is evident in every piece.
Each composition blends together flavors of classical music, jazz, new age,
and rock into a palatable whole. Listen for yourself when band leader Jim
Walker brings his award-winning group to Fermilab's Ramsey Auditorium on
Saturday, July 31 at 8 p.m., presented by the Fermilab Arts Series.
Walker will give a pre-concert talk in room One West beginning at 7 p.m.,
free of charge. To preview a taste of what's in store, click here
for a 20-second music sample (Real Player required).
Free Flight has appeared on The Tonight Show and at the Lincoln Center. Recent performances include sell-out concerts at the Interlochen Jazz Festival, Chautauqua, and the Hollywood Bowl. The group has produced eight recordings.
Tickets are $18 ($9 for ages 18 and under.) Call 630-840-ARTS
(2787) weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Dmitri Denisov, of PPD and the DZero experiment, responds to the Sacramento Bee's "Scholars in Limbo" story that ran in the July 7 issue of Fermilab Today: Dear Editors, After reading the Sacramento Bee article "Scholars in Limbo," I want to share with you some disturbing numbers that represent how seriously the U.S. visa issue is affecting international cooperation. Since the summer of 2002, obtaining a U.S. visa has become one of the major issues for the participation of

From SDSS, July 19, 2004 Dark Energy, Inflation and Neutrino Mass News Using observations of 3,000 quasars discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), scientists have made the most precise measurement to date of the cosmic clustering of diffuse hydrogen gas. These quasars -- 100 times more than have been used in such analyses in the past -- are at distances of eight to ten billion light years, making them among the most distant objects known. read more |

Good Morning! | ||
People watched with anticipation as the experts supervised the intricate choreography among the four accelerators (Accumulator, Recycler, Main Injector, and Tevatron). Finally, as the beams were brought into collision, it became clear that it had all worked perfectly. We celebrated a record store of over 1032. At the start of 2004 we were still coming out of the shutdown and the record luminosity was still below 5x1031. If somebody had told me then that before the annual shutdown we would hit 1032 luminosity using antiproton transfers from both antiproton rings, I would have thought them crazy. It has been an exceptional year. Another reason to celebrate: the Linac and Booster were able to deliver a record 1019 protons to MiniBooNE last week.
It is a great year for the Fermilab accelerators, and it will lead
to some great physics results in the year ahead.

July 16 - July 19 - The Tevatron achieved the second best weekly integrated luminosity, 16 inverse picobarns - A new initail luminosity record of 103.43 E30. - Operations established 3 stores during the last seventy-two hours. - They delivered approximately sixty-one hours and forty-five minutes of luminosity to the experiments.

New Performance Review Form Lab Service has posted a new performance review form that is a plain Microsoft Word document. It does not contain protected form fields. It may be used by people who are having problems using the form fields. It can also be opened by people who use OpenOffice or StarOffice. The new form is available online. If you have any questions contact Cindy Crego at x3278 or crego@fnal.gov
