Today the ATLAS Collaboration published our paper on the “Search for heavy long-lived charged R-hadrons with the ATLAS detector in 3.2/fb of proton-proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV” on arXiv and submitted it to Physics Letters B.
After quite some work and the usual back’n’forth of the internal review, I (hopefully) have some more time for the heaps of new data coming in these days.
Today the board of the Faculty of Physics at LMU Munich accepted my “Antrag auf Annahme als Habilitand“.
Not much time to write more … gotta go back to teaching, doing physics, writing papers and wrapping it up to get to the next step ;)
It’s time for this year’s (major) Honour & Glory event – EURO2016 is starting in a few days!
Remember to check your account and place your bets before the matches start!
The bets and some stats and plots will be visible right after kickoff and I’ll do my best to put in results quickly.
Looking forwards to another exiting (betting) event!
Let’s see who’s going to make this time … newbee or someone with history ;)
Looks like I’ll have the chance to build yet another Atlas Lego model in Australia this summer.
Thanks to COEPP and the Powerhouse Museum, I’ll be in Sydney in August to build an Atlas Lego model with students as part of the Sydney Science Festival (FB) / National Science Week in Australia.
During the two-day event we’ll also have public sessions for visitors to build Nathan’s LHC micro models and the finished large model will be part of the CERN Collider exhibition hosted in the same place from 6 August to 30 October 2016.
Follow the BYOPD web site / Facebook site for more updates on this topic …
CERN has confirmed that apparently a beech marten has caused “a short circuit in one of the electrical transformers [and] cut power to the LHC”.
And just because I heard the comment/joke twice already (sorry it’s in German, thx Basti) … das Tier war offensichtlich ein Selbstmarder :|
