| NSLS-II gets CD-0. On September 9th, the Department of Energy announced "Critical Decision Zero" status to a planned new synchrotron facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory. CD-0 is the first step in the approval for any major DOE facility. Brookhaven Lab∞, located twenty miles from the Stony Brook campus, is managed by a partnership of Stony Brook University and Battelle Memorial Institute. When completed, NSLS-II would be the brightest synchrotron radiation source in the world, with unprecedented resolution for imaging, x-ray spectroscopy, and many other techniques. |

| RHIC Scientists Serve Up "Perfect" Liquid |
|---|
| A press conference at the April APS meeting in Tampa highlighted the recent work done by RHIC experiments discovering that the dense high temperature state formed in relativistic Au Au collisions is actually a liquid with surprising properties. Abhay Deshpande∞, Axel Drees, Tom Hemmick∞ and Barbara Jacak play a lead role in the PHENIX experiment. The press release can be found at http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=05-38∞ and the AIP Physics News of April 20 highlighted the results: http://www.aip.org/physnews/update/∞ |
