International Workshop on Future Hadron Colliders Commences at Fermilab Tomorrow | ||
| ||
|
Scientists from around the world are gathering at Fermilab for the
International Workshop on Future Hadron Colliders, October 16-18, to explore
potential upgrades for CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the creation
of the Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC). The workshop, co-sponsored by
CERN and Fermilab, will feature talks on both the theoretical and
experimental aspects of the LHC upgrades and the VLHC design. "We want to
follow up on things that were done in the last two years, and we want to
discuss the next generation collider that we hope to build down the road,"
said Ulrich Baur, a Fermilab user and a member of the workshop's organizing
committee. "Everyone at Fermilab is welcome to attend the workshop - the
more the better." All talks will take place in One West in Wilson Hall.

From The New York Times, October 11, 2003 A 'Cosmic Jerk' That Reversed the Universe by Dennis Overbye CLEVELAND, Oct. 10 — Astronomers said on Friday that they had determined the time in cosmic history when a mysterious force, "dark energy," began to wrench the universe apart.
Five billion years ago, said Dr. Adam Riess, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, the universe experienced a "cosmic jerk." Before then, Dr. Riess said, the combined gravity of the galaxies and everything else in the cosmos was resisting the expansion, slowing it down. Since the jerk, though, the universe has been speeding up.
"NICADD is dedicated to the research and development of new particle accelerator and detector technologies," said Gerald Blazey, co-director of NICADD and professor of physics at NIU. "NICADD staff and Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory collaborate on a number of research projects." |

Colloquium Streaming Videos Have you heard the story of Enrico Fermi and the world's first nuclear reactor? Do you want to see how we know the age of the Universe to about 2%? Thanks to Fermilab's Visual Media Services more than 100 colloquia are available. They can be yours if you have an internet connection, audio output and the free Realplayer software. Tell your friends and colleagues about lectures that might be of interest to them. Some of the general interest titles, such as Tom Nash's "Antarctica - Heroic Science at the Bottom of the World", might even be helpful to your children's schools. For a schedule of future presentations, check the Fermilab Colloquium website. |
