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.

Along with BEBC (which plays a similar decorative role at CERN: www.flickr.com/photos/joshmt/1210535338/ ), one of the largest bubble chambers ever built.
They've still got rolls of the film (that is to say, the raw data) lying around. They were giving out single exposures mounted in cardboard frames. I took one home.

Laura imparts wisdom upon Luke and Claire. The massive scale of the experiment is a little more evident in this image. Despite being the size of a five-story building, everything has to be located with incredible precision: within 50 micrometers! That is less than the width of a human hair! WHAT? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? (lasers, I think).

This is an artist's proof of a 2 colour screenprint of clouds and ionization tracks of particles in a cloud chamber.
This is the muon delivery ring now but it all used to be part of the infrastructure for the Tevatron, hence the TeV in the old label. The date of manufacture is listed as 1984.

A conference Portland and Vancouver are organizing. This is a preliminary rough draft of the poster.
The only thing almost as awesome as ATLAS? Lego ATLAS. Big kudos to whoever created this.

This is just one of a bunch of pics I took at yesterday's Fermilab Photowalk at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Just a handfull of pics to show off with more to come. The public spaces at Fermilab are neat and well worth a visit, but if you ever get the chance to go behind the scenes, at a place like this, TAKE IT! Fermilab, Batavia, IL

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.

LHCb does not resemble a modern 4pi general purpose particle detector, but rather looks a bit like an old-fashioned spectrometer like was used at fixed target experiments (to be clear, LHCb is not a fixed target experiment). Collisions happen to the left of the detector, and the collision products are analyzed by the detectors to the right. Since the LHC energy is much higher than what is needed to make B mesons, LHCb doesn't lose anything by "giving up" the collision energy available in central collisions.

This is a handheld HDR shot. Quite tricky to take without a tripod. The awesome technology makes up for the picture.

About a month ago, I went to FermiLab to meet some people and tag-along on a tour. Part of the tour took us to an old bubble chamber, and we were given negatives of actual bubble chamber events. Of course, the first thing I did once home was scan the negative.
The chamber is filled with a liquid which is heated to almost boiling. The curved lines are charged particles that create tiny bubbles as they pass through the chamber.
