Milestones
packed and jammed
The Lederman Science Center Open House on February 12, with more than 1,500 visitors.
AWARDED
The Philip Hauge Abelson Prize; by the American Association for the Advancement of Science; to former Fermilab director and Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman.
The Luise Meyer-Schutzmeister Memorial Award for 2000; by the Association of Women in Science; to Bonnie Tamminga Fleming (ID 08607V). The Luise Meyer-Schutzmester Award is given annually to an outstanding woman graduate student in physics, for exceptional academic achievement, the importance of the research being addressed, the quality of the research, and the applicant's potential for future contributions to the field of physics.
CONTRADICTED
The theoretical prediction for the g-minus-2 value of the muon, a heavy relative of the electron; by the high-precision experimental result obtained by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Though more data is needed to clarify the observations, the discrepancy suggests the existence of new particles and forces that influence the behavior of muons in a strong magnetic field.
