Hastert, Orbach Will Launch
NuMI/MINOS Friday, March 4 | ||
| ||
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and DOE Office of Science Director
Ray Orbach will formally launch the NuMI/MINOS experiment in a ceremony
at Ramsey Auditorium at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, March 4. Also among those
taking part will be Congressman James Oberstar, who represents Minnesota's
Everyone is invited to attend, and everyone should plan on being seated in Ramsey Auditorium by 2:15 p.m. A slide show on the history of the project, produced by Visual Media Services, will begin at that time. A lab-wide party will be held in the Atrium from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., following the Auditorium ceremonies.
Employees are encouraged to car-pool from other areas of the site,
arriving in time to park at the Lederman Science Education Center and to be
seated by 2:15 p.m. Parking will be at a premium, with the Horseshoe reserved
for participants in the ceremony, and the DZero collaboration meeting
continuing throughout the day.

|
Celebrate the official launch of NuMI/MINOS at the lab-wide party in the
Atrium from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Food will be provided by Buona Catering —
extra food is being ordered to keep from running out. Music is
in the gifted hands of Roy Rubinstein and the Chicago Hot Six, and of Paul

receive one). Prizes include tickets to the Arts
Series, lunches at Chez Léon, Fermilab clothing and gift items, and gift
certificates to Applebee's, Benigan's, Borders and Chili's. There will be
several drawings during the party, but you must be present to win a prize.

In Memoriam: Andrew Szymulanski Andrew Szymulanski, a Mechanical Engineer in the Particle Physics Division, died suddenly on Tuesday, February 15. He was 64. Szymulanski came to Fermilab in 1983, and first began working on magnets in the Technical Division. Later he served as the project engineer for
"He was a very good engineer and he got along with every person he worked with," said Jim Kilmer of the Particle Physics Division, who was Szymulanski's supervisor. "He was a genuinely nice person." Szymulanski moved from Krakow, Poland in 1974, and remained strongly committed to his family throughout his life. He is survived by his son and two brothers. "Andrew would regularly bring authentic Polish bakery goods from Polish Town in Chicago for his fellow employees and friends," said Lou Kula of the Particle Physics Division, who worked with Szymulanski. "He provided dedicated fatherly support for his son and his son's future, his brother whom he was living with for many years, and his extended family in Poland."
Szymulanski also enjoyed sailing, working on his car, skiing and many other
outdoor activities. "He was always walking around the laboratory,"
said Bob Woods of the Particle Physics Division, who started working at
Fermilab the same day as Szymulanski. "He was very friendly and very
mild-mannered," said Ingrid Fang of the Particle Physics Division, who
worked with Szymulanski on the CKM project. "He was a true gentleman."

Good Morning!
Difficult issues that could strain the relationship between Fermilab and the community will inevitably arise. When they do, we try to explain what we are trying to do as clearly and openly as we can. Fortunately, because of the good relationship we enjoy with the community, most people are willing to give our position a thoughtful hearing. We could not ask for more than that. The best way for us to maintain this standing in the community is to welcome to our site everybody who is interested in visiting. For this reason, I was very pleased that we were able to announce increased public access starting on January 24. Even better, I now see many people taking advantage of this improved access, just as we had hoped.
Thanks to the many people from Fermilab and the DOE who worked together
to develop the new policy that allows better community access to our site
while maintaining the laboratory's security.

From The Guardian, Scientists beam in on particles that helped shape the universe by Alok Jha They are one of the most common particles in the universe. You are no doubt oblivious to the 1,000 trillion of them flying through you every second and the 100 million or so that your own body produces every day.
In fact, these mysterious particles are so elusive that it would take 10 light years of solid lead to stop one of them. And scientists know next to nothing about them. Welcome to the blurry world of neutrinos.
