Comfort! Joy! Luminosity!

Happy holidays from Fermilab. Click on the image to view and download the holiday card.

Accelerator operators recently achieved a new weekly integrated luminosity record of 74 inverse picobarns. The record, set for the week of Dec. 8 through Dec. 15, tops the previous record of 63.5 inverse picobarns from the week of Nov. 24 to Dec. 1 by 16.5 percent. That amounts to a seven-fold increase from the weekly integrated luminosity record of 10.65 inverse picobarns set in July 2003 in the beginning of Run II. During the record-setting week, the Tevatron ran a continuous 168 hours.

	The U.S. has contributed $531 million to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle collider, located in Europe. From the LHC Remote Operations Center at Fermilab, U.S. scientists will participate in the startup of the machine. More than 900 scientists from the U.S. work on the CMS experiment at the LHC. Sifting through proton-proton collisions, scientists may find signs for dark matter particles, new subatomic forces and perhaps extra dimensions of space.
