Download Issue PDF - Symmetry magazine

from the editorsymmetry’s Web expansionPhoto: Reidar Hahn, FermilabWith 30 issues behind us, this issue of symmetry launches the next phaseof the magazine’s development. Our readers now use the magazine indifferent ways, and we are reaching a much larger audience. While youare outspoken in wanting to keep the print magazine, many of you arenow more comfortable reading online.Starting from this issue, we will publish six print issues each year insteadof 10 and add a much larger range of online content. We have completelyredesigned our Web site to accommodate this expansion. Our hope is thatthis will give readers new ways to respond and become active membersof the symmetry community.We still plan to cover the same kinds of topics in the magazine, butwill be adding online resources we think readers will find useful, includingbackgrounders and fact sheets on many topics.Online, we will be posting new content on a regular basis, a few times perweek at least. A symmetry blog will have the latest stories and discussionson topics ranging from research and news to policy and analysis. Ofcourse, there will still be plenty of the fun stories that are a hallmark ofthe magazine.Bubbling away in the background, we already have a symmetryFacebook group and YouTube channel and expect to see them becomemore active in coming months. We will be soliciting science videos andphotographs for contests, and looking for other materials from the verycreative minds of our readers that deserve a wider audience. As always, ifyou would like to see us address a particular topic or have ideas you thinkwill appeal to fellow readers, please let us know.This next phase of symmetry is very exciting for our team, and we hopeyou will all join in.David Harris, Editor-in-chiefSymmetryPO Box 500MS 206Batavia Illinois 60510USA630 840 3351 telephone630 840 8780 faxwww.symmetrymagazine.orgmail@symmetrymagazine.org(c) 2008 symmetry All rightsreservedsymmetry (ISSN 1931-8367)is published six times peryear by Fermi NationalAccelerator Laboratory andStanford Linear AcceleratorCenter, funded by theUS Department of EnergyOffice of Science.symmetryEditor-in-ChiefDavid Harris650 926 8580Deputy EditorGlennda ChuiManaging EditorKurt RiesselmannSenior EditorTona KunzStaff WritersElizabeth ClementsHeather Rock WoodsKelen TuttleRhianna WisniewskiCopy EditorMelinda LeeInternsHaley BridgerLizzie BuchenAmber DancePublisherJudy Jackson, FNALContributing EditorsRoberta Antolini, LNGSPeter Barratt, STFCRomeo Bassoli, INFNStefano Bianco, LNFKandice Carter, JLabSuraiya Farukhi, ANLJames Gillies, CERNSilvia Giromini, LNFYouhei Morita, KEKMarcello Pavan, TRIUMFPerrine Royole-Degieux, IN2P3Yuri Ryabov, IHEP ProtvinoYves Sacquin, CEA-SaclayKendra Snyder, BNLBoris Starchenko, JINRMaury Tigner, LEPPUte Wilhelmsen, DESYTongzhou Xu, IHEP BeijingLynn Yarris, LBNLGabby Zegers, NIKHEFPrint Design and ProductionSandbox StudioChicago, IllinoisArt Director/DesignerMichael BraniganIllustratorAaron GrantWeb Design and ProductionXeno MediaHinsdale, IllinoisWeb ArchitectKevin MundayWeb DesignKaren AcklinAlex TarasiewiczWeb ProgrammerMike AcklinPhotographic ServicesFermilab Visual MediaServicessymmetry | volume 05 | issue 01 | jan/feb 082
