Entering SSRL; note the bright blue sky in March (this certainly isn't
Rochester!)
Pre-run
conference at the SLAC Guest House: with Mike Toth and Will Noel (Photo
by Bob
Morton)
with Uwe Bergmann in
SSRL hutch 6-2.
During
the run: Uwe Bergmann, Abigail Quandt, Jennifer Giaccai,
myself (what happened to my hair?), and Michael Toth
Contrary to the apparently incriminating
evidence, I am NOT using
scissors to trim the edge of folio 021 of the Archimedes palimpsest;
this
was a test
object to check beam and system alignment. Standing behind (L to R) are
Will Noel, Mike Toth, and Reviel Netz,
Professor of Classics at Stanford University.

this page (and 3 other existing pages, plus possibly 3 missing pages)
after 1938.

057 (another forgery) in the X-ray beam
The
members of the imaging team in front of hutch 6-2 at SSRL: (left to
right)
myself (RIT), Abigail Quandt WAM), Will Noel (WAM), Keith Knox
(Boeing),
Mike Toth (R.B. Toth Assoc.), Bob Morton (ConocoPhillips), Uwe Bergmann
(SLAC), and Jennifer Giaccai (WAM).
Mike
Toth seems to be finishing a death march; actually he is adjusting the
position of the table relative to the X-ray beam.
On
the last night of the run, Will Noel uses a champagne cork at the
celebratory dinner to illustrate Archimedes' most famous achievement,
as presented in "On Floating Bodies."
