Fermilab and SLAC to Launch symmetry Magazine | ||
| ||
|
On October 28, employees at SLAC and Fermilab will receive the first issue of
symmetry magazine, a joint publication of the two laboratories for the
particle physics community. The new publication replaces Fermilab's
FERMINEWS and SLAC's Beam Line with a monthly full-color magazine
and a corresponding online version. This is the first time that two DOE national
laboratories have joined forces to produce a periodical such as symmetry.
Over the past four months staff writers at Fermilab and SLAC have worked with a design company to produce the layout of the new magazine. Each issue will feature articles, commentaries, essays, profiles, reviews and outside perspectives on particle and astrophysics at Fermilab, SLAC and across the world. symmetry will explore the collaborative aspects of research through stories that focus on the science as well as people, policy and culture.
Hard copies of the magazine will be delivered to all Fermilab mail stations.
Additional
copies will be available at the Office of Public Affairs, WH1E. About
11,000 copies will be sent to people outside the two laboratories. To receive an
email notification every time a new online version is available, please register your
email address at www.symmetrymagazine.org.
A new "button" in the bottom right corner of the Fermilab homepage will take you to
the symmetry Web site as well.

Computing Division Holds Annual Safety Picnic | ||
| ||
|
More than 200 members of the Computing Division held a picnic at Kuhn Barn
on Friday, October 8, to celebrate an outstanding year of working safely in
the division. CD employees have worked 1,321,562 person hours without a
lost-time injury. It has been nearly three years since the last serious
accident. "We have reached a record number of accident-free work days by
integrating safety into all that we do," said Vicky White, CD head. "I am
very proud of what we have achieved. At the same time, this celebration
gives us an opportunity to remind ourselves to redouble our efforts to make
sure that everyone goes home from work safe and sound at the end of every
day."

From The Register, October 8, 2004 £147.5m boost for British particle accelerators By Robin Lettice Science and innovation minister Lord Sainsbury today announced £147.5m funding for two particle accelerators. They will be used to aid research in areas including medical and computer research, and clean energy technology.
The two devices - ISIS and Diamond Light source - produce high-energy light beams and particles which allow scientists to study the structure of different materials in detail.

Good Morning! | ||
In 1973, it was not clear that these new ideas could ever be tested. One senior colleague of David Gross at Princeton told him, "David, this is great stuff.. But it will never be confirmed experimentally." The predicted effects were so small and difficult to measure that it took years of experimentation to find the effects that definitively proved the theory.
Today physicists use QCD to calculate backgrounds at the Tevatron and, with the techniques of lattice QCD, to calculate accurately the masses of particles and the couplings of quarks. By developing new theoretical ideas and doing more intricate experiments, we are still learning new things about QCD, the theory of gluons and quarks.
