8 July 2010 – Picture this: For the first time, amateur photographers around the world collide with the past, present and future of particle physics. Five of the world’s leading particle physics laboratories will make the image a reality when they join together to host a Particle Physics Photowalk on 7 August. More than 200 […]

From KEK: The fifth POSIPOL workshop held at KEK
The POSIPOL 2010 workshop was held from 31 May to 2 June at KEK. It was the fifth in the POSIPOL series of workshops dealing with the physics aspects, the design issues, and the open questions concerning a polarized positron source in the framework of the next-generation electron-positron colliders such as the ILC or the […]
From SLAC Today: People: Encouraging Girls to Explore Science
Cherrill Spencer was on hand May 4 to see the Expanding Your Horizons Network receive the 2010 National Science Board’s Public Service Award. Spencer, a magnet engineer at SLAC, has played a variety of leadership roles with the EYH Network for the past 29 years. This award was presented at a banquet at the State […]
From SLAC Today: Clobbering Electron Clouds
Researchers at SLAC and other institutions are creating a sort of pest control for particle beams: squashing the clouds of electrons that gather in accelerators and disrupt experiments. “Some methods are already there… we know they work,” said Mauro Pivi, a SLAC scientist in the Accelerator Design Department. But in order for future colliders such […]
From symmetry magazine: A field where jobs go begging
Tony Favale is looking to hire. Business in the particle accelerator world is booming, as is business at Advanced Energy Systems, where Favale is president. His company, with offices in New York and New Jersey, is doing research and design work for the next generation of accelerators, which will be employed in electron lasers for […]
Wanted: linear collider studies leader
If you have always wanted to lead a global team of accelerator and detector experts to work with you on the electron-positron collider concepts of the future, directing the way particle physics will take after results from the Large Hadron Collider LHC, then the followingCERN position will certainly interest you.Applicants are advised to grow large […]
Share your knowledge
Looking for volunteers for the 'Ask a scientist' service
Do you enjoy explaining to friends and family what you do and why you do it? Would you like to share your knowledge about superconductivity, string theory, governance, the Higgs, beam steering, particle detectors or whatever else you are an expert in? With the LHC running and delivering the first physics results, more people wonder […]
From Fermilab Today: AD & TD collaborate on first cryomodule for new facility
It is perhaps fitting that the New Muon Lab, a long, low concrete affair facing open fields, sits facing the northern edge of Fermilab’s property. The hangar-sized building is a busy place these days, home to the laboratory’s Superconducting Radio Frequency Test Facility, and bustling with the work that keeps Fermilab pushing the boundary of […]
