Report of the Chair Paul Grannis introduced the new members of the Executive Committee and thanked the people who are retiring. He announced that Bruce Barnett of Johns Hopkins will begin a three-year term as organizer of the DPF Congressional Reception, and that Bob Cahn of LBNL will take over as Public Information Coordinator. Grannis also reminded the Executive Committee that Gene Beier will replace Frank Sciulli as the DPF representative on ICFA. Report of the Secretary-Treasurer As of November 1, 1997, the DPF account balance stood at $86,274. The prize account balances stood as follows: Panofsky, $64,103; Sakurai, $174,053; Wilson, $107,697. The Panofsky Prize Fund remains significantly underendowed. Howard Georgi will take over the fund raising effort. Howard Gordon and Pat Burchat have volunteered to help. Report of the APS Treasurer Tom McIlrath presented a positive report on APS finances. -

Tracking Optimal Axion-Sensitivie Resonant Modes in ADMX
Tracking Optimal Axion-Sensitivie Resonant Modes in ADMX Nicole Man∗ University of California, Santa Cruz Mentors: Gray Rybka and Leslie Rosenberg University of Washington (ADMX Collaboration) (Dated: August 30, 2019) In ADMX operations, the TM010 mode is best coupled to our antennas as it provides the largest form factor. As the form factor is proportional to the power signal, tracking the TM010 mode ensures the use of the optimal axion-sensitive resonant modes. In this report, I will discuss the method to tracking the optimal axion-sensitive resonant modes in ADMX to ensure maxmized power signals. I. INTRODUCTION II.

What are the tools that will answer those questions?" These and other questions were posed by Peter Rosen, Associate Director in the DOE's Office of Science, during the annual SLUO Meeting in July. Over 200 users came to SLAC from around the world for a discussion about the science and politics of high energy physics (HEP). Speaking at the meeting, SLAC Director Jonathan Dorfan and Fermilab Director Michael Witherell expressed similar sentiments. Dorfan suggested that a different planning model is needed for the new challenges facing big science. "Previously we looked at a next generation machine and we endorsed that one s facility.
