SLAC and Fermilab to Launch
symmetry magazine
By David Harris
SLAC and Fermilab are set to launch symmetry, a new publication for the
international particle physics community. The inaugural issue will be
released in late October.

This joint publication replaces both SLAC’s Beam Line (last published
Spring/Summer 2002) and Fermilab’s Fermi News (last issue in June 2004)
with a monthly full-color magazine and accompanying on-line version.
This is the first time two DOE national laboratories have combined
resources to produce such a publication.
In recent years, much exciting progress has been made at both SLAC and
Fermilab by the cross-fertilization of ideas between particle physics,
astrophysics, synchrotron science and other fields. Symmetry will
explore these connections not only through the science but also through
stories of people, policy and culture.
The first issue features articles, commentaries, essays, profiles,
reviews and outside perspectives of the work done at both labs.
Print copies will be available in the Central Lab (Bldg. 40) from the
Communications Office (Ext. 8703, room G106), the Library (Ext. 2411,
room Y215) as well as at other locations around SLAC.
People can subscribe to the magazine by visiting the Symmetry website
