Maik Lang gives an invited talk at "Radiation Effects in Insulators - 15" conference in Padua, Italy.  His talk was in the Aula Magna of the Palazzo Bo - one of the oldest building at the University of Padua, which was founded in 1222.  Maik's talk was on  the response of the pyrochlore structure to high pressures and high radiation fields.

Marcel Toulemonde visited the group during August and will return in November.

Bill Weber and Rod discuss the theory of track formation.  The sculpture is entitled 'Cascade'
