LBL Currents -- April 15, 1994

Nuclear Science Division Unveils New Addition

By Mike Wooldridge, MAWooldridge@lbl.gov

The Nuclear Science Division officially unveiled a new addition to Bldg. 88--home of the 88-Inch Cyclotron--with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, April 5. A crowd of about 50 people looked on as LBL Director Charles Shank cut the red ribbon on the new space.

Located on the building's top floor, the 14-room addition provides the Nuclear Science Division with much-needed space for researchers and visiting scientists working at the Cyclotron. "It is a good day for the Laboratory, the nuclear physics community and the nation," said NSD Director James Symons. "The building expansion is an important part of making LBL an attractive place for physicists from around the world to do their research."

A new and important aspect of this research is the Gammasphere, a detector under construction at the facility. When fully operational in 1995, the Gammasphere will be the most powerful gamma-ray detector in the world and the nation's primary research instrument for nuclear structure physics. The $20-million detector has been designated a national user facility, and will host researchers from across the United States and abroad.

The Gammasphere is currently in its early implementation phase, running preliminary experiments with 36 of its 110 gamma-ray detectors installed. In the past year, 35 experiments have been run on the Gammasphere, involving more than 100 users from 31 institutions around the world. Later this summer, engineers will install a state-of-the-art spherical cage on the device, which will hold the detectors in place and allow them to be rotated around the point of collision.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, LBL Director-at-Large Glenn Seaborg gave a brief talk about the origins of the 88-Inch Cyclotron, which generated its first beam in 1961. Claude Lyneis, program head at the Cyclotron, gave an overview of the planning process for the new addition, from the project's review in 1991 to the beginning of construction last May.

Shank said the most important factor in getting the addition built was the quality of the research going on at the facility. He noted that the facility had been faced with closure in 1990 and had survived a competitive review with two other facilities. "There was tremendous science going at the Cyclotron," he said.

The addition was designed by Michael Willis and Associates of San Francisco, with Gail Bouvrie as the chief architect. The general contractor was J. H. Fitzmaurice of Oakland.

Director's Annual State of the Lab Address

Talk to be telecast in 3 locations

LBL Director Charles Shank will discuss the changes confronting the Laboratory, including strategic actions to be taken to move LBL successfully into the 21st century, in his annual State of the Laboratory address at noon on Friday, April 22, in the Bldg. 50 auditorium.

Shank will share highlights of successful LBL scientific accomplishments, review the budget outlook, and describe how Laboratory strengths are being applied to solve national problems.

The Director will also preview the forthcoming LBL Strategic Plan, including six actions responding to scientific and management objectives. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the talk.

For the first time, three remote locations have been wired to telecast the address live on video monitors for those who can't be in the auditorium. The talk can be seen in the Bldg. 66 auditorium, the video conference room in Bldg. 71, and in Bldg. 50A-5132.

Take Our Daughters to Work Day

On April 28, LBL will join thousands of organizations across the United States by hosting Take Our Daughters to Work Day for girls ages 9-15. This year, the Laboratory is pleased to sponsor this event for the daughters, nieces, and friends of LBL employees as an activity of the Center for Science and Engineering Education's Education Outreach Program.

Take Our Daughters to Work Day is a good opportunity for girls to learn about the world of work and about the career options available to them. A panel of women will discuss their careers at the LBL and answer questions. After the introduction, hosts may bring their guests to their work site for job "shadowing" or choose a second option, consisting of visits, demonstrations and workshops around the Lab. The group will meet again for lunch, and visits and demonstrations will be offered again in the afternoon. The day will conclude with a brief closing ceremony.

Take Our Daughters to Work Day targets the developmental needs of girls, but sons are welcome to attend.

If you are interested in participating in the program, please complete and return the form you will be receiving by Lab mail. Any questions should be referred to Marva Wilkins at X5640.

Music is Greek to their ears

By Mike Wooldridge, MAWooldridge@lbl.gov

It's all Greek to Kostas Papamichael of the Energy and Environment Division, at least when it comes to his music. Papamichael and his band, Rebetiki Parea, play tunes first heard in Greece's underground taverns earlier this century. Vaggelis Fragiadakis, husband of Cheryl Fragiadakis, who heads LBL's Technology Transfer Department, also plays in the band, along with three other members.

The group will perform at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco this Saturday. The performance will include a tribute to Melina Mercouri, a popular Greek actress, singer, and former Minister of Culture in Greece who passed away recently. The show will feature photographs and film clips of her work, as well as narratives on her life.

Papamichael, who does research in computer-aided design for the Building Technologies Group, is the lead vocalist for the group. Born and raised in Greece, he received his early musical training singing religious Byzantine songs in a church choir. Later he trained in classical guitar, and as a teen performed Bob Dylan numbers in Greek bars.

After immigrating to the United States in 1981, he gave up rock and roll and returned to the music with which he grew up. As a boy, his father had exposed him to Rebetiki music, a genre that arose out of immigrant neighborhoods in Greek cities in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.

"The refugees had a very tough life in the cities back then," Papamichael said. "They would gather in underground cafes to play music and smoke hashish. The musical styles were born more out of pain, struggle and celebration rather than formal education."

The group play their music on a variety of traditional Greek instruments, the centerpiece being the mandolin-like bouzouki. The instruments also include the baglama (a small bouzouki), a small drum called the toubeleki, and the santouri, which is a primitive piano whose exposed strings are hit with little wooden hammers.

The performance begins at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 16, at the Herbst Theater, located at 401 Van Ness Ave. in San Francisco. Tickets are available at Bass ticket outlets. For more information call (415) 338-1892.

PHOTO CAPTION -- The members of the Greek musical group Rebetiki Parea include (from left to right) Lise Liepman, Kostas Papamichael, Vaggelis Fragiadakis, George Chittenden, and Nancy Klein. Fragiadakis holds a bouzouki, the main instrument in Rebetiki music.

In memoriam -- Bob Barney

Charles Robert (Bob) Barney, project administrator for the STAR Project, died Tuesday, April 5, of heart failure. He was 59.

In his work for STAR (Solenoidal Tracking at RHIC), Barney worked with scientists, engineers and administrators at LBL, Brookhaven National Lab, and many universities throughout the United States and the world. One colleague expressed a widely held opinion of Barney when remembering him as a "gentleman... truly a pleasure to work with and a dedicated employee of the Lab and the project."

Barney, who came to LBL a little over three years ago, had a variety of professional experience. He served in the Navy during the Korean War, rising to the rank of Commander before retiring. Although he had no undergraduate degree at the time, he completed the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey in 1961 with an advanced degree in meterology and oceanography. Later, he earned bachelor's degrees in economics and business administration, and computer science.

Barney once said that the most exhilarating moments of his life were while flying ultra-light planes, and that one of his most memorable experiences was marching for peace during the Vietnam war.

Barney is survived by his three children--Kevin of Oakland, and Robert and Deborah of San Diego--and a brother, Eugene, of San Diego.

Memorial services for Barney will be held at 2 p.m. today (April 15) at the Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Ave., Oakland.

Barney sponsored a child through the Save the Children Fund. Donations in his memory may be sent to:

Due to construction at Bldg. 90, the Payroll satellite office will move from Bldg. 90 to the lower level of the Reception Center (Bldg. 65-13) effective today, April 15. Timecards will be collected and paychecks will be distributed at the new location starting today (April 15). The telephone number for the new office is X6202.

Termination checks and special checks will continue to be distributed from the Cashier's Office (Bldg. 90-1121). Standard forms will continue to be stocked in the area next to the Cashier's Office, as well as in the new location.

Child safety device available

A new automobile child safety device has recently been made available through the Employee Buying Service. The "Child-Safer" was designed to make existing safety belts more effective and comfortable for children who have outgrown other child restraints. It slips easily onto the lap and shoulder belts, and can be adjusted to fit preschoolers or smaller adults.

"It was the hottest item among the vendors' displays at last year's National Safety Congress," says Matt Kotowski of the Safety Office. The Child-Safer can now be purchased for only $10 from the Employee Buying Service, located in the cafeteria foyer during lunch hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
