In July Prof. Shailesh Chandrasekharan and postdoctoral associate Dr. Anyi Li traveled to Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe to attend 2011 International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory. It is the biggest annual meeting for all the people who are doing lattice field theory calculations. 350 participants from all over the world have attended this year's conference. Prof. Chandrasekharan and Dr. Li presented their work on the novel developed algorithm which can efficiently simulate the fermionic system at chiral limit. It is believed that the conventional approach would fail at that limit. Their approach has been well received by the audiences and raised lots of interesting questions and discussions. The new algorithm has promising applications on the physics of graphene and unitary fermi gas. They have started implementing the calculations on those problems.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), fnal.gov/ located just outside Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, is a US Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. As of January 1, 2007, Fermilab is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, a joint venture of the University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology and the Universities Research Association (URA). Fermilab is a part of the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.

One of my first tries of a HDR photo during a shift of taking data of cosmics. The green cylinder is a magnet, in which the detector was placed. It was a time projection chamber previously used for the HARP experiment. Time projection chamber because the drifting time of the electrons is used to determine the z position of the track.
Just some information if more are coming from this obscure dicussion group :).
High School students at the Notre Dame QuarkNet Center assembled some 500 of these Optical Decoder Units for Hadron Calorimeter of the CMS detector. High school teachers helped design the units, which are currently installed at ready for LHC startup at CERN. The ODUs are simple adding machines for light; output from each tower--a sequence of absorbing and detecting materials--are added together, transformed from photons to electrons, amplified, and then back to photons to make the trip to trigger computers, where decisions will be made--every 25 nanoseconds--whether to store the signal.

A roof of a gas shed (?) at CERN. We scientists don't sweat the small stuff. Like basic maintenance.

My lens was not quite wide enough to capture the full height of the thing.

John Seeman accepts a plaque from the BaBar management, celebrating the achievements of PEP-II and BaBar over the last 10 years, most notably the discovery of CP violation in B0 mesons and the resounding confirmation of the Standard Model picture of CP violation.

4 CERN project teams work together in this one big room--in 4 corners!
Champagne bottles are from celebrations of momentous finds, events, etc!
Incredible!
