Finally, after some confusion and extra trouble in the last weeks RC1 of my Ph.D. thesis is ready! And after handing it over to my professor, it was me, for the first time since quite some time, who wished him a “nice” weekend instead of the other way around. Most likely he’s gonna get back at me big time next week … dammit they just always have the whip hand …
ATLAS just issues the latest release of its e-news, officially announcing the first W boson candidate events in the LHC … which of course reminds me of my nice little master thesis on the W mass measurement at ATLAS.
Below are illustrations of the two candidates: one W decaying into an electron (left) and one into a muon (right), of course both accompanied by the according neutrino, represented by missing energy (ETmiss) in the event.
For all of you interested in an Update on the Large Hadron Collider, the current Director General of CERN Prof. Dr. Rolf-Dieter Heuer will give a talk at Urania Berlin on Monday, April 26th at 19h00.
