    Argonne instrument begins experiments
    at nation's newest national laboratory

    To Don Geesaman of Argonne's Physics Division, "SOS" isn't a call for help -- it's the means to discovering the fundamental structure of matter.

    A Physics Division group, led by Harold Jackson, was heavily involved in the design and construction of the Short Orbit Spectrometer (SOS) at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Va. Geesaman leads a collaboration of scientists from several institutions that conducted the very first experiment at CEBAF on Nov. 15, 1995.

    The SOS is designed to detect particles with short lifetimes. It stands 15 feet tall and weighs more than 100 tons. Data recorded by the SOS detectors start s out with a stream of electrons traveling up to four miles as CEBAF's superconducting accelerators boost the negatively charged particles to near-lightspeed.

    The particle beam is directed at thin foil "targets" of gold, iron or carbon. Some of the electrons smash into the nuclei of atoms in the target, producing a spray of other particles, including protons, kaons and pions, which SOS is designed to detect. Some of these particles decay into energy and other particles in a few nanoseconds (billionths of a second). Since they're traveling about a foot each nanosecond, the SOS must be compact and use a clever "focusing" system of magnets to intercept them before they decay.

    Ironing out the kinks

    Geesaman's group had the dubious honor of conducting the first experiments at CEBAF. Nobody wants to go first on a brand-new facility, especially one as complex as CEBAF. But he was anxious to get started and willing to put up with potential bugs.

    "And for some of us," Geesaman added, "ironing out the kinks is part of the fun."

    The experiment, "The Energy Dependence of Nucleon Propagation in Nuclei as Measured in the (e, e'p) Reaction" seeks to determine laws governing the motion of protons through the nucleus.

    The experiment "is just like shining a flashlight beam at the nucleus and seeing how much the beam is attenuated," Geesaman said.

    Previous experiments along these lines have been conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at lower energy. Geesaman wanted to refine the MIT results with SOS's higher resolution and better equipment, plus CEBAF's continuous beam. The constant stream of electrons hitting the target reduces the "background noise" inherent in a pulsed beam -- by three or four orders of magnitude in CEBAF's case.

    Using SOS, Geesaman hopes to find out why nuclei are more transparent to protons than theories predict. The reason may have to do with the repulsive force between protons, the positively charged particles that make up part the nucleus of every atom in the universe. The results will also be used for future tests of the quark theory of nuclear matter.

    The experiment was originally proposed by groups from Argonne National Laboratory, Northwestern University, CalTech, MIT, Rutgers University and the University of Colorado. With the worldwide interest in the scientific program at CEBAF, the collaboration, led by Geesaman, has grown to include 22 institutions spanning three continents.

    Future SOS experiments may be the first step toward resolving another physics conundrum -- exactly what binds together the "deuteron," or a proton-neutron pair. Proton-neutron pairs are present in every atom in the universe -- except those of hydrogen -- and there are two conflicting models that explain how the particle pairs hold together.

    Other experiments under way include measurements of pions, one of the carriers of the cohesive force that binds nuclear particles together, and analyzing K mesons, a particle containing a "strange" quark.

    Hollywood crews to prepare
    360 area locations for filming

    Lights. Camera. The first action begins Jan. 31, when crew members from 20th Century Fox arrive at Argonne to begin "dressing" location sets for "Dead Drop," an action thriller now being filmed in the Chicago area.

    Chicago native Andrew Davis, director of "The Fugitive" and "Under Siege," is directing the new film, which centers on the theft of scientific research. Filming began Jan. 8 at the University of Chicago campus, and continues in the Chicago area, in Washington, D.C., and in Madison, Wisc. In February the cast and crew move to Argonne for scenes featuring the mysterious "Mount Weather," home -- in the movie -- to clandestine research activities.

    Two currently unused Argonne facilities -- the old Zero Gradient Synchrotron ring room and the Continuous Wave Duterium Detector, a remnant of the Pentagon's discontinued Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") project -- will come to life as Argonne's chief "actors" in the film.

    The ZGS and CWDD, along with other locations throughout the 360 area, will be playing the part of Mount Weather. Argonne exterior scenes will also be featured. The control room of the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source has been duplicated at the film company's studios, and additional scenes will be shot in the real control room.

    Some Argonne employees may be selected for roles in the film as extras. Casting of extras will be done from photos. For consideration, send a photograph of yourself (5x7 or 8x10, either color or black and white) and write on the back your name, telephone number, height and weight. Send photos to Catherine Foster, OPA, Building 201 by Feb. 1.

    Actors in the film include Keanu Reeves ("Speed," "A Walk in the Clouds"), playing the part of Eddie, a machinist-technician working on a giant, privately funded physics project; British actress Rachel Weisz as Lily, a physics post-doc; Nigel Hawthorne, nominated for a best actor Oscar in last year's "The Madness of King George," as the physicist leading the project; Morgan Freeman ("The Shawshank Redemption," "Driving Miss Daisy"), as the head of a research foundation; Tommy Lee Jones ("The Fugitive," "Batman 3"), as the head of the clandestine organization trying to steal the research results; and Fred Ward ("Miami Blues," "The Right Stuff") as the FBI's counter-terrorism expert. All but Hawthorne are expected to be at the Argonne site during shooting the week of Feb. 12.

    "Dead Drop" is scheduled for release in July.

    Reck to lead women's programs

    Ruth A. Reck has been appointed Argonne's Women In Science and Technology (WIST) program initiator.

    During her two-year term, Reck will assist in the design and development of WIST program activities. This includes promotion of a WIST component to laboratory programs, assistance in preparation of funding proposals and encouraging Argonne employees to participate in those activities.

    She will also help further Argonne's goals of recruiting more women for the laboratory's technical staff and promoting women into professional and management positions.

    The WIST Initiator plans "Science Careers in Search of Women," a conference held annually at Argonne to acquaint high school and college women with careers in science and engineering.

    Reck was named director of Argonne's Global Climate Change Program in 1992. The program brings together existing major environmental activities at Argonne which focus on global climate change, and propose additional projects where appropriate. Research within the division currently emphasizes analysis of satellite data related to the global distribution of ozone and is programmatically affiliated with the Atmospheric Research section.

    Park improvements planned

    Watering and fertilization plans are underway by the Darien Park District to improve the soccer fields at Argonne Park for next year's soccer season.

    The improvement plans follow the successful fall 1995 season at the park for 300 children of the Darien Youth Club, who benefitted from a May 1993 agreement among Argonne, DOE, and the Darien Park District to share Argonne Park.

    Both the fourth- and fifth-grade boys' and second- and third-grade girls' divisions of the youth club played soccer at the park and plan to play there again next year. The Darien Youth Club has already submitted its proposed field use schedules for the fall 1996 outdoor soccer season.

    "With the surrounding tree line, the fall color was unbelievable. It must be the prettiest place for our youth to learn some of life's lessons," wrote the club's Boys Soccer Commissioner Donald R. McGreal in a letter to the Darien Park District.
