In the October 2009 issue of symmetry, meet Ketino Kaadze, Mark Cooke, and Martina Hurwitz, three graduate students who recently left experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider to work on data-producing experiments at Fermilab's Tevatron.
The latest issue of symmetry is on its way to subscribers and the entire content of the issue is online.
This issue features many stories about accelerator development and comes out just before the Accelerators for America's Future symposium next week in Washington, DC.
In the issue, read about how accelerators are being used to clean up sewage sludge and industrial flue gases, the range of industrial applications of accelerator technology, and steps toward the next generation of acceleration technology using plasma wakefields.
We show how the types and capabilities of accelerators have evolved over the past 80 years in an updated version of a classic graphical representation, introduce the making of shrink wrap as another unusual aspect of accelerator tech, and comment on how accelerators find themselves in an unusual place in science, straddling basic and applied research.
There is plenty else to discover in the issue but let us know what you think!
