AstroSeminar Information
How to invite a speaker for an AstroSeminar
- Submit a suggestion to the AstroSeminar Committee via this Suggestion Form.
- Await a reply from the Committee before proceeding to invite.
- When you asked to proceed with an invitation, consider using this template for your convenience.
- Coordinate with the Committee while arranging dates for the speaker; confirm the open date slot with the Committee before finalizing with the visitor.
- After the date is confirmed with the visitor the Seton Handville takes over the process to arrange travel and lodging.
How does the AstroSeminar Committee select visitors
- Someone from FCPA suggests a visitor through the Suggestion Form or through contacting the AstroSeminar Committee.
- The Committee reviews the suggestion and sends to a set of reviewers in FCPA, who comment on the timeliness and appropriateness of the visitor’s topic.
- When approved, the Committee sends an FCPA member a message, giving the go-ahead to invite the visitor.
Host Duties
- Greet visitor when s/he arrives. The host will receive an email from Connie Lang (langcm60@fnal.gov) upon arrival.
- Be aware of the visitor’s schedule, which will be arranged by the AstroSeminar committee or the host.
- Help the visitor get to appointments in the schedule, including Munch (Mondays, 12:30-1:30pm).
- Get the visitor set-up for the talk at 1:45pm.
- Introduce the visitor at the talk.
- Arrange dinner if the visitor is available.
AEM reports
- Each quarter, a post-doc reports at the AEM
- The AEM meeting takes place at 4pm on Mondays.
- AEM on the Redmine Wiki
Publications
- Procedures for Researchers
- Obtain a Fermilab preprint number: Preprint Number Request Form. One must also submit the paper to Fermilab Technical Publications, which one can do at the same site used to get the Fermilab preprint number.
- Fermilab Affiliation for the author:
Center for Particle Astrophysics
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory MS127
P.O. Box 500
Kirk Rd. & Pine St.
Batavia, IL 60510-0500N.B.NB: Other groups in the Center (e.g. the EAG) may have a different mail stop.
- Acknowledge funding agencies. All papers must acknowledge support by the DOE. If you or your co-authors are supported by other institutions as well, please check with them for additional acknowledgments. If DOE were the only supporting institution one might write:
This work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359.
- Page Charges: Our policy is to pay all publication costs for group members and visitors, and to share publication costs for papers co-authored by people elsewhere. The general rule is that if there are N authors on a paper and only M of them are working in our group, then we will only pay for the fraction M/N of the publication costs. Please check with your collaborators to see whether they have funding for page charges before you decide where to submit a paper. Some journals, such as The Physical Review D and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society have no page charges. All group members are encouraged to submit longer papers to these “free” journals.
- Fermilab Logo and Copyrights: the Fermilab logo is copyrighted and may not be used without special permission.
