After diverting over 200,000 pounds of electronic material from landfill disposal last year and finding recycling and reuse options for the materials, Fermilab received the DOE Office of Science Best in Class Pollution Prevention Award for 2005, a 2005 DOE Pollution Prevention Star Award, and won the 2005 Federal Electronics Recycling and Reuse Challenge. The awards were presented May 1 in Washington, D.C. "As a high-volume electronics consumer, Fermilab is in a position to make a difference," said Joanna Livengood, Manager of the DOE Fermi Site Office. "It's good to see that the hard work is paying off." You can read the full story behind the P2 Star Award and Fermilab's Best in Class Award in past issues of Fermilab Today. |

| Columbia University student Ben Berger has just arrived at Fermilab, and he'll be interning in the Office of Public Affairs until August 18. Berger, a history and physics double-major, will write Fermilab Today articles along with current intern Jennifer Lauren Lee. "I'm really looking forward to learning more about physics while I'm here," he said. You can reach Ben with physics advice, tidbits and story ideas at bberger@fnal.gov, ext. 8012.

Science,
June, 2006:
Aging Atom Smasher Runs All Out in Race for Most Coveted Particle After years of frustration, Fermilab's Tevatron collider is running well. Researchers say they have a shot at spotting the Higgs boson--if there's time
In autumn 2004, Boston's beloved baseball team, the Red Sox, spotted the archrival New York Yankees a three-games-to-none lead in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series. The plucky Sox then whipped the Yankees in four straight and went on to win the World Series for the f irst time in 86 years. Now, physicists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, hope to pull off a similarly dramatic comeback and bag particle physics' biggest prize, the long-sought Higgs boson.

BNL Press Release, June 1, 2006: Nobel Laureate Raymond Davis Dies UPTON, NY -- Raymond Davis Jr., Nobel Laureate and retired chemist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, passed away at his home in Blue Point, New York, on May 31, 2006, at the age of 91. He died of complications from Alzheimer's disease.
Davis won the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for detecting solar neutrinos, ghostlike particles produced in the nuclear reactions that power the sun. He shared the prize with Masatoshi Koshiba of Japan, and Riccardo Giacconi of the U.S.
