Snowmass 1996: New Directions for High Energy Physics This summer there will be a Snowmass workshop in Snowmass, Colorado, from June 24 to July 12, 1996. Arrival, registration, and a reception are planned for June 24. Full-day plenary sessions will be held on June 25 & 26 and July 11 & 12. Participants are encouraged to stay for the full three weeks. The workshop is jointly sponsored by the Division of Particles and Fields and the Division of Physics of Beams. The Chair is David G. Cassel (DPF) and the Co-Chair is Robert H. Siemann (DPB). The meeting will be arranged by an Organizing Committee assisted by an International Advisory Committee. The members of the Organizing Committee are Dan Amidei Sally Dawson Steve Holmes Frank Merritt Hugh Montgomery Uriel Nauenberg Michael Peskin Lawrence Price The International Advisory Committee consists of Guido Altarelli Charles Baltay Ed Berger Sidney Drell Mary Gaillard Fred Gilman Paul Grannis Daniel Green Gordon Kane Takahiko Kondo Satoshi Ozaki Roberto Peccei Claudio Pellegrini Lee Pondrom John Rees Frank Sciulli George Trilling Guenter Wolf Michael Shaevitz Andrew Sessler Michael Zeller The abstract of the meeting is quoted below: We now have a picture of some key elements of the US contributions to the international HEP program for the first decade of the next century. In accord with the Drell Subpanel report, we believe that the LHC program will define the high-energy physics frontier and that participation by U.S. physicists in this effort is essential. In addition, we expect that the Fermilab Main Injector, the SLAC B Factory, and Phase III of CESR, will provide frontier capabilities in other fundamental areas of research. The view of what facilities other than these should be included in the future US accelerator-based program is much less in focus. Specific groups are considering possibilities as diverse as room temperature or superconducting linear electron-positron colliders, substantial upgrades in Fermilab luminosity or energy, and muon colliders. Detailed consideration of these options was beyond the scope of the Drell Subpanel. Many aspects were studied by the Working Groups of the DPF Committee on Long-Term Planning, but the CLTP effort did not include substantial comparisons of these different options. We believe that now is the appropriate time to begin to develop a coherent plan for the longer term future for the U.S. program in the context of the international program. To do this, members of the US HEP community should come together with individuals from other nations to compare the capabilities, feasibilities, and relative strengths of possible new initiatives with those of the LHC and other facilities that will likely operate in the LHC era. This type of evaluation has traditionally taken place in the Snowmass workshops, so we propose a similar workshop in the summer of 1996 to begin to address these crucial issues and to move toward a consensus. The workshop will focus on the accelerator-based program since the non-accelerator program was a major concern of the 1994 Snowmass workshop. We will encourage close cooperation among accelerator, experimental, and theoretical physicists to insure that all essential issues related to each initiative are examined and understood. The workshop will be open to all members of the international HEP and accelerator communities. Special effort will be made to involve younger physicists and individuals from other countries who can provide essential insight into the international HEP program. Joint Meeting of the APS/AAPT The 1996 Joint Meeting of the APS/AAPT (the "Washington" meeting) will be held May 2-5, 1996 (Thursday to Sunday) in Indianapolis, Indiana. The meeting was moved from Washington to better involve physicists from across the country and to reduce the cost of accommodations. The DPF plans a full range of sessions of topical invited talks. These include joint sessions with the Divisions of Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, and Particle Beams, and dedicated DPF sessions devoted to current issues in Electroweak Interactions, Physics of Heavy Quarks, Physics Beyond the Standard Model, Strong Interaction Physics, Neutrinos and Rare Decays. There will be special sessions of talks by winners of this year's Panofsky and Sakurai prizes, as well as by recent Nobel prize winners. There will be a tutorial on the use of Mathematica, as well as a set of divisional colloquia on Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics. The colloquia will cover the dark matter of the universe, solar neutrinos, and blackbody radiation images of the early universe. Parallel sessions, scheduled so as not to compete with invited talk sessions, will be held to accommodate contributed papers. The deadline for submission of abstracts for contributed papers is January 23, 1996 (in the APS Headquarters). Electronic submission of abstracts is strongly encouraged to facilitate organizing the parallel sessions (see WWW information at http://www.aps.org/.) Information on the DPF sessions will be posted on WWW at http://www.aps.org/units/dpf/april96/. DPF 96 at University of Minnesota DPF 96 will be held August 10-15, 1996 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Information can be obtained by contacting the DPF 96, Department of Physics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis MN 55455. The URL for the conference is http://www.hep.umn.edu:80/dpf96/ and the email address is [email protected]. Committee on Elementary Particle Physics The Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) of the National Research Council (NRC) is undertaking a series of reassessments of all branches of physics as the foundation for a new physics survey. This will provide a broad picture of physics as a whole, identify issues that are common to its various subfields, and show the relationships among the different fields of physics and other areas of science. To this end, the BPA is organizing a Committee of approximately 12 physicists in Elementary Particle Physics (CEPP) to assess scientific progress and the impact of recent advances and developments on the direction of the field. Bruce Winstein will chair the CEPP. The Committee will be asked to: Describe the field, including a summary for a general non-scientist audience (including Congressional staff); Describe what has been learned over the last two decades; Identify key physics objectives for the next two decades; Describe the facilities, instruments, and detectors that are required to carry out research in this field, and outline future options under realistic scenarios; Outline the relationship with other areas of physics and technology; Consider general issues, such as education and manpower, and international cooperation; Communicate excitement of particle physics, including relevance to society, contributions to welfare of the country, and the practical benefits of accelerator science and technology, which will help Congress justify expenditures on this field. The NRC study, which should be completed within the next two years, will build on the recent report of HEPAP's Subpanel on "Vision for the Future of High-Energy Physics," the 1986 NRC Report "Physics Through the 1990's" and the DPF CLTP report "Particle Physics: Perspectives and Opportunities." The CEPP will have a major meeting during the Snowmass workshop so there will be ample opportunity for community input. NSF Program in Elementary Particle Physics The NSF section on Elementary Particle Physics has established a panel to provide advice on which accelerator-based scientific programs should be emphasized over the next five years. The panel has been asked to give a preliminary report by the end of 1995, with a final report by February 1, 1996. The membership of the panel is R. Cahn (Chair, LBNL) J. Butler (Fermilab) P. Fisher (MIT) F. Gilman (Carnegie Mellon) N. Hadley (Maryland) R. Patterson (Cornell) A. Seiden (U.C. Santa Cruz) M. Shapiro (U.C. Berkeley/LBNL) W. Smith (Wisconsin) Advice, comments, and suggestions may be directed to the Chair at [email protected]. Committee on Long Term Planning The report of the DPF Committee on Long-Term Planning has been published by World Scientific under the title, Particle Physics: Perspectives and Opportunities. The book was edited by Roberto Peccei, Michael Zeller, David Cassel, Jonathan Bagger, Robert Cahn, Paul Grannis and Frank Sciulli. It may be ordered directly from World Scientific; the cost is $30 for APS members, and $82 for nonmembers. The CLTP report is the result of a broad-based study of high energy physics commissioned by the DPF Executive Committee. The study was initiated in the early 1994, in the wake of the cancellation of the SSC, and was meant to complement the report of HEPAP's Drell subpanel.

  • Professor Helen Quinn
    Professor Helen Quinn Helen Quinn was born in Australia and grew up in the Melbourne suburbs of Blackburn and Mitcham. She attended Tintern Girls Grammar School in Ringwood East. She matriculated successfully and obtained a cadetship from the Australian Department of Meteorology to fund her studies at the University of Melbourne. After beginning her undergraduate studies at the University, her family migrated to San Francisco in the early 1960s. Professor Quinn finished her undergraduate, and eventually graduate education at Stanford University. After receiving her doctorate from Stanford in 1967, she held a postdoctoral position at Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany, then served as a research fellow at Harvard in 1971, joining the faculty there in 1972. She returned to Stanford in 1976 as a visitor on a Sloan Fellowship and joined the staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC) in 1977. In her current position as a theoretical physicist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Professor Quinn has made important contributions towards unifying the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions into a single coherent model of particle physics. In 2000 she was awarded the Dirac Medal and Prize for pioneering contributions to the quest for a unified theory of quarks and leptons and of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. The award, shared with Professors Howard Georgi of Harvard and Jogesh Pati of the University of Maryland, recognized Professor Quinn for her work on the unification of the three interactions, and for fundamental insights about charge-parity conservation. She has also recently developed basic analysis methods used to search for the origin of particle-antiparticle asymmetry in nature.

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.
