Adam T. Holley Named 24th Rosen Prize Recipient

The LANSCE User Group Executive Committee is pleased to announce that Adam Holly has been awarded the 2013 Rosen Prize for his doctoral thesis on "Ultracold Neutron Polarimetry in a Measurement of the β Asymmetry". His work demonstrated excellence in a number of facets the selection committee considered, including summarizing the problem and previous literature, making significant advancements using both theoretical and experimental approaches, and producing results which are very likely to impact future research in the field.

The selection committee had great difficulty in choosing a winner from the submissions which covered a range of scientific disciplines. In truth any of the theses would have been a worthy winner, but we needed to select just one. The committee congratulates all of the candidates on their outstanding work, and particularly Adam for his award.

Linac Risk Mitigation

Linac Risk Mitigation (LRM) is a set of activities designed to reduce operational risk and enhance accelerator reliability well into the next decade. We are now into the fourth year of LRM. Schedule beam time will be reduced in 2014 through 2015 to allow full replacement of the 201 MHz RF systems .    At the conclusion of LANSCE Risk Mitigation activities, LANSCE will offer its user community up to 4000 scheduled accelerator operations hours per year.

The LANSCE Risk Mitigation schedule is available on lansce.lanl.gov<http://lansce.lanl.gov/>.
