Professor Robert Aymar
I was reading in the review Nature that…..
….Like birds returning to rich feeding grounds,
researchers from all over the world are flocking
To CERN…..
The cause of the mass migration is the large
hadron collider (LHC)….
CERN estimates that about physicists
will work on the LHC worldwide and many
of them will be making their way to the lab in
the coming months,…
Geneva, 20 September During commissioning (without beam) of the final LHC sector (sector 34) at high current for operation at 5 TeV, an incident occurred at mid-day on Friday 19 September resulting in a large helium leak into the tunnel. Preliminary investigations indicate that the most likely cause of the problem was a faulty electrical connection between two magnets, which probably melted at high current leading to mechanical failure. CERN[1]’s strict safety regulations ensured that at no time was there any risk to people.

Professor Walter Henning
Walter was honored for his central role in landing a 1 billion Euro accelerator facility to be built at GSI The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR),
Walter Henning was awarded
a Cross of Merit of the First Class
of the Federal Republic of
Germany by German President
Horst Köhler at a ceremony on
4/10/ 2007 in Berlin. The Cross of
Merit is the highest tribute Germany
can pay to individuals for service to
the nation.
Walter Henning in June rejoin Argonne and head up the laboratory's effort to build a proposed exotic beam facility for nuclear physics research.

Professor Pier Oddone
Pr. Pier Oddone is the director
of Fermilab.
In an interview given in the review
Nature, Pier was saying:
…It was always seemed to me that
the prudent thing would be to run
the Tevatron until is clearly
overtaken by the LHC,….
Nature July 2008
Scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations
have for the first time excluded, with 95 percent
probability, a mass for the Higgs of 170 GeV
(about 170 proton masses).

Professor Jean Iliopoulos
Jean Iliopoulos, particle physicist - Dirac medal winner for 2007
The 2007 Dirac Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in theoretical
physics and mathematics, was awarded on August 8th 2008 to two well-known
physicists: Jean Iliopoulos, and Luciano Maiani.
They were the first to posit the existence of the "charm quark", and this
medal is a reward for their joint work on this particle.
Their research was of great importance in constructing the "Standard Model"
theory, and has given substance to modern elementary particle theory.
Jean is member of the French academy of science

15. JZJ or the two infinites
What is the meaning of this special day? What are we celebrating?
I would like here to quote the Japanese painter Hokusai:
From around the age of six, I had the habit of sketching from life.
I became an artist, and from fifty on began producing works that won
some reputation, but nothing I did before the age of seventy was worthy
of attention.... At one hundred, I may well have a positively divine
understanding of them, while at one hundred and thirty, forty, or more
I will have reached the stage where every dot and every stroke
I paint will be alive.....
……. may Heaven, that grants long life, give me the chance to prove that
this is no lie.

You can see here two famous
Hokusai paintings, which
were painted when Hokusai
was 89 years old.
What we are celebrating here is the end of the first circle of John’s life and the
beginning and continuation of the second circle of his life.
I am sure that exactly as in the case of Hokusai important contributions are to come!
