Farewell to DOE's Jim Miller
Miller and his wife will continue living in the area for some time.
However, there's "lots of traveling in our plans," he said.
"But I will stay in contact with the lab in some way."

January 26 - January 28 - During this period Operations established three stores. Those stores, along with one that already existed, provided approximately twenty-one hours and twenty-five minutes of luminosity to the experiments. The highest peak luminosity was 43.4E30 - A LCW pressure problem caused store to abort. - TeV wet engine required overhaul. - To save from quenching, operators aborted store due to Tevatron cryo vacuum problem.

Searching for the Big Fat Brother (When He Doesn't Answer the Phone) | ||||
| ||||
Searches for new particles can be conducted in two different ways: either
creating them directly or observing the effects due to their exchange in
the collisions of other particles. The first approach requires that enough
Several models predict the existence of a heavier version of the Z boson, dubbed Z'. Measurements of the second type however indicate that this heavier brother of the Z boson couples only with a very small probability
Therefore the search for the Z' boson has to be made following the first approach creating Z's. Thanks to the increase in the center of mass energy and in the total integrated luminosity the D0 Collaboration will be able to search for Z' bosons as heavy as 1000 GeV.
With the data collected so far in Run II the D0 Collaboration has extended
the region in which the existence of the Z' boson is ruled out by using an
analysis similar to the search for extra dimensions. If the Z' is produced
and decays in the same way as the standard Z then the old Run I limit of 670
GeV is raised to a limit of 719 GeV.
