Fermilab Postdocs: Apply for the 2005 Alvin Tollestrup Award by April 30 | ||
| ||
|
Are you a postdoc at Fermilab or a URA member institution? Did you receive
your PhD within the last six years? Could you use an extra $3000? If so,
nominate yourself for the third annual Alvin Tollestrup Award
for Postdoctoral Research by April 30.
Nominations consist of a short paper that identifies a specific area of research, a CV, a list of publications and invited talks, and two letters of recommendation. All PhD researchers in non-permanent positions at Fermilab or URA member institutions are eligible. "We receive so many outstanding nominations. We wish that we could give out more awards," said John Conway of CDF and chair of the Tollestrup Award Committee.
The committee will select the award recipient by May 31 and invite the postdoc
to give a talk at the 2005 Fermilab Users' Meeting in June. Committee members established the Alvin Tollestrup Award in 2002 to recognize outstanding work conducted by a postdoctoral researcher at Fermilab. "Postdocs do a lot of the heavy lifting and hard work at the lab," Conway said. "They're here every day carrying the ball for the experiments and deserve some recognition."

AD Radiation Safety Team First Workers to
Greet Neutrino Beam in MINOS Hall | ||
| ||
|
The NUMI-MINOS neutrino beamline complex includes some underground
chambers that are designed to allow people to work there while the NUMI
beam is running. For a few days beginning February 19, an Accelerator
Division Radiation Safety team measured beam-on dose rates in these spaces.
Gary Lauten, Tony Busch, Dale White, Paul Sedory, and Bill Higgins
performed the study. They began in the water pump room and the power
supply room outside the NUMI target hall. Later they moved downstream
to the end of the decay pipe, measuring the region outside the absorber
enclosure and the 900-foot-long access tunnel slanting down from there
to the MINOS near detector hall.
During this study, on the afternoon of February 22, they realized that
they were the first people to be present in the MINOS hall with the NUMI
beam operating. Using a cell phone — which had lousy signal strength
360 feet underground, but which incorporated a camera that functioned
just fine — they snapped pictures of the occasion, one of which is shown
above.

From Cornell News, March 7, 2005 Hans Bethe, a titan of physics and conscience of science, dies at age 98 ITHACA, N.Y. -- Nobel laureate Hans Bethe, the last of the giants of the golden age of 20th-century physics and the birth of modern atomic theory, and one of science's most universally admired figures, died quietly yesterday evening at his home in Ithaca, N.Y. He was 98. read more |

From the Beacon News, March 5, 2005 Fermi fires first neutrino pulse through ground to Minnesota 'Press here:' Simple keystroke starts $170 million experiment By David Garbe BATAVIA — The setup on the Fermilab stage Friday afternoon was simple: a podium, a pair of laptop computers and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.
Despite the simple scene, the laptops were connected to a scientific apparatus Hastert described as nothing short of "mind-boggling."

Good Morning!
I want to repeat my congratulations to all of the talented people who worked so hard to turn the vision of a long-baseline neutrino program into a reality: Greg Bock and his NuMI project team; Stan Wojcicki, Doug Michael, and the MINOS collaboration; and all of the Fermilab employees who rolled up their sleeves to make the NuMI project a success. It takes the entire laboratory to build a project like this.
Friday was a great day for the Laboratory, and it took a lot of effort to make
it come off so well. I want to thank all of the people who made it work, both
the team who organized the NuMI dedication and the team who planned and
carried out the lab-wide party.
