Particle Physics Committee to Unveil 15-Year PlanTomorrow, a committee of leading scientists, industrialists and educators will unveil a 15-year plan for the future of U.S. particle physics. Dubbed the National Academies Committee on Elementary Particle Physics in the 21st Century (EPP2010), the committee will release its final report accompanied by a live webcast press conference at the Keck Center of the National Academies in Washington, DC. The report will identify the most compelling questions in elementary particle physics and recommend a prioritized plan to address them. EPP2010, which has held six meetings since November 2004, builds on the work of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel, which advises the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation; the National Research Council; and the Department of Energy's Office of Science. |

Welcome to Elizabeth Caplun-CochraneElizabeth Caplun-Cochrane recently joined the Photon Science Directorate as Head of Administration. She comes to SLAC after four years as Associate Director of the Research Compliance Office at Stanford. Before that, Caplun-Cochrane was the manager of Stanford's Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences. She also worked for 10 years as business and outreach officer for the White Mountain Research Station, a multi-disciplinary research facility managed by the University of California. Originally from Belgium, she has lived in the United States for the past 20 years. "It's a wonderful time to join the Photon Science Directorate as it begins its rapid transition and growth here at SLAC," says Caplun-Cochrane. Caplun-Cochrane is excited for the future of photon science. She notes that the user and in-house scientific programs and accelerator performance are thriving at SPEAR3, the PULSE center for ultrafast science is rapidly evolving, and materials science activities are increasing. "In addition, the LCLS Ultrafast Science Instruments (LUSI) project is taking off and LCLS operations will commence in 2008," she says. "It is a privilege to be involved at SLAC in so many exciting and challenging projects, and to join the team." |
