2004 Panofsky Prize Awarded to Fermilab User Arie Bodek
Bodek's major contributions include work with parton density functions (PDF's) and the EMC (European Muon Collaboration) effect. Over his career, he has used many types of experiments, including electron scattering, neutrino scattering, electron-positron colliding, and proton colliding. Currently, Bodek is working on CDF, CMS, NuTeV, and MINERvA. Bodek's studies of nucleon structure have not been continuous, but he says new techniques and new technologies keep bringing him back. "The structure of the nucleon has always been dear to my heart."

Farewell Jim Yeck | ||
| ||
|
On September 30, the DOE Fermi Area Office and Fermilab honored Jim Yeck, the DOE/NSF U.S. LHC Project Manager, with an award ceremony and farewell party. In mid-October, Yeck will say goodbye to the flatlanders and hello to the cheese heads to manage the University of Wisconsin's IceCube neutrino detector project located at the South Pole. At the ceremony, Manager of DOE Chicago Operations Marvin Gunn presented Yeck with a recognition plaque to acknowledge his twenty-year federal career. Jane Monhart and Pepin Carolan, DOE Fermi Area Office, as well as Fermilab's Ken Stanfield and Dan Green all spoke about Yeck's rare talent for managing large-scale projects and his ability to give valuable constructive advice. "Jim brings the rare combination of good judgment, people skills and the ability to manage large projects," said Deputy Director Stanfield. "It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Jim on the LHC and other Fermilab-related projects. If it ever gets too cold for him in Wisconsin or the South Pole, I hope that he will remember our balmy weather here at Fermilab and that we are always looking for good project leaders."

At the meeting on Monday of HEPAP, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel, a subpanel called P5 submitted a report containing recommendations about several Fermilab experimental programs: CDF and D0, BTeV, and CKM.
I have
summarized the P5 findings.
The important message
for the Fermilab community is that our laboratory will have a central role
in every sector of the U.S. particle physics program in 2010.
The P5 report
solidifies Fermilab's position in the American physics program beyond Run II.
We will continue in our role at the center of particle physics in the U.S. throughout this decade and into the next.

From The New York Times, September 30, 2003 Other Dimensions? She's in Pursuit By Dennis Overbye Just before midnight on a recent summer night, the girl, Dr. Maria Spiropulu, now 33 and a physicist affiliated with the University of California at Santa Barbara, stepped outside a South Side Chicago jazz club and climbed into a cluttered Honda Civic. She was wearing black jeans, a black sleeveless top, Nikes and three rings on her left hand. Spewing noise from a leaky muffler, she drove into the Illinois prairie, through the gates of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, and past scattered farmhouses too white and neat to be real farmhouses anymore. read more |
