ICHEP impressions
A few impressions from ICHEP2016 (will be updated) …
ICHEP – snacks and music
Congratulations to the ICHEP2016 organisers for having a great idea, already before the actual start of the conference … why not invite people for snacks and drinks during one of the free open-air concerts of the Grant Park Music Festival at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. Perfect! And just to round things off properly, add an ICHEP picnic blanket to the conference bag, to be used to sit on the lawn in front of the stage. Well done!
ICHEP2016
I’m on my way to ICHEP2016 in Chicago.
Looking forward to a great conference in a great city.
I have good memories of both:
ICHEP2012 in Melbourne and Chicago, as a memorable start of a road-trip to New York.
I’ll have both physics (long-lived particles) and outreach (BYOPD) contributions for this year’s conference … let’s see how it goes :)
Deadwood, SD
Deadwood, South Dakota it is for this week. The IX International Conference on Interconnections between Particle Physics and Cosmology (PPC2015) at The Lodge at Deadwood, to be even more precise. Yesterday we had our excursion to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, today I gave my presentation on Dark Matter searches in ATLAS (so I’m done with the compulsory part .. hehe) and tonight we’ll have the conference dinner :)
It’s all a bit in the middle of nowhere, but it’s seemingly really beautiful landscape in the Black Hills and the Badlands. Unfortunately, I ain’t got no time to see it all, or even a small part for that sake.
