1. HRIBF Dedication and Symposium Epitome

On Thursday and Friday, December 12 and 13, the HRIBF will be dedicated. The formal dedication ceremony will be held Thursday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in the Wigner Auditorium (old Central Auditorium) at ORNL. The dedication will be followed by a reception and open house at the HRIBF (Bldg. 6000). As a part of the festivities, a Symposium on RIB Physics will be held on Friday at the Joint Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Building 6008) adjoining the HRIBF.

All HRIBF Users are invited to help us celebrate this festive occasion by attending the Dedication and the Symposium. Registration for these events can be made from the HRIBF web site accessible via the ORNL Physics Division home page (www.phy.ornl.gov).
