Libraries Unveil
New Melvyl Catalog
The
California Digital Library yesterday rolled out the
new online Melvyl-T catalog, allowing library patrons
– including Berkeley Lab’s library – to search
a state-of-the-art catalog of the millions of books,
journals and other items held by the libraries of University
of California campuses. Melvyl-T has a new format and
design, offers users a variety of enhanced features,
and contains completely updated data for the holdings
of the UC system. All Berkeley Lab holdings, both books
and journals, are included in the catalog. Full

Doped Semiconductor
Makes a Fast Scintillator
At
cryogenic temperatures some semiconductors can convert ionizing
radiation into visible light with high efficiency and speed.
In cadmium sulphide, for example, electron-hole pairs produced
by ionizing radiation promptly form excitons with a radiative
decay time of about 0.2 ns. However, at room temperature almost
all of the holes are trapped on non-radiative centres, that
is, crystal defects and impurities. Now Stephen Derenzo,
Edith Bourret-Courchesne, Mattias Klintenberg and Marvin
Weber at Berkeley Lab have found that if one impurity is
added to trap the holes and another impurity is added to provide
an abundant supply of electrons, then bright fast scintillation
can occur at room temperature. They hope that their work will
lead to a new class of fast, luminous scintillators... Full

Daughters
and Sons Converge on Lab Today
About
180 youngsters between the ages of 9 and 15 will be attending
workshops on the Hill today as part of the national "Daughters
and Sons to Work Day." For the 10th consecutive year,
Lab employees will be giving talks and demonstration to
workers’ children and guests. Beginning with registration
at the cafeteria at 8:30 and concluding with an ice cream
social there at 2:30, the visitors will have fun learning
about the Lab and its programs. For a full schedule and
workshop descriptions, go here. |

Insurance
Rates Today
A
reminder that special rates for automobile and homeowner/renter
insurance are available to eligible Lab employees through
A-PLUS Auto & Home Insurance. A-PLUS also offers employees
an option to make premium payments via a convenient payroll
deduction. A representative will be at the Lab today from
11:30 to 1:30 in the Cafeteria Lobby to answer questions about
special rates available. No obligation rate and coverage comparisons
are also available toll-free at 1-877-999-8952. |

| Cafeteria
to Consider
New Dinner Service
The
Lab is considering a dinner service in the Cafeteria for employees
working swing or late shifts, as well as those who might occasionally
want to bring a dinner home. Anyone interested in this service
has the opportunity to offer feedback by filling out the Cafeteria's
online
survey. |
