What is Causing
Cosmic Acceleration?

Supernova/Acceleration
Probe (SNAP)

In this week's issue of Physical Review Letters, Berkeley Lab’s Eric Linder of the Physics Division explains how state of the art observations of supernovae can map the expansion history over 75% of the age of the universe. The brightness of a supernova translates directly into its distance and light travel time, while its redshift measures the scale of the universe when the supernova exploded. Like tree rings, this record of growth of scales over time, slowing and quickening, tells us about the cosmic environment. For a pdf of the full article go here.

Two Scientists Getting
TV Focus This Month


Astrophysicist Saul Perlmutter and Environmental Scientist Max Sherman are scheduled to appear before the TV cameras at Berkeley Lab this month. Reporter Yung Choi and a crew from KTV, a Korean television station in Los Angeles, will interview Perlmutter on March 17 about his supernova research project. And a team from CBS’ Evening Magazine, also out of Los Angeles, will film Sherman and discuss his studies on duct tape today.

Seminar Today on Lab Implementation Of Microsoft's 'Active Directory'

There will be a seminar from 1:30-2:30 p.m. today in Perseverance Hall for all Network Administrators and Professionals interested in the status of Active Directory at Berkeley Lab. Douglas Spindler from Computer Information Technology Group (CITG) will address how and when Microsoft's Active Directory will be implemented at the Lab. This is the first of a series of meetings to be held the first Tuesday of every month regarding Active Directory at the Lab.
