Breakthrough Prize 2025

ATLAS, CERN, LHC, Physics

Today, I got a little my little share certificate for the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics that was awarded to the ATLAS Collaboration and other three large LHC collaborations.

As announced already back in April, the prize was awarded for detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties, confirming the symmetry-breaking mechanism of mass generation, the discovery of new strongly interacting particles, the study of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

I am happy to have been (and to tiny extent still am) part of this adventure.
Congratulations to all co-reciepients :)

IPPOG Meeting in Sofia

Bulgaria, BYOPD, CERN, Games, Outreach, Physics, Quantum Science, Sofia

This week I had the pleasure to have been invited to the 25th IPPOG Meeting in Sofia, in fact to talk about Munich Quantum Valley and quantum-computing in general in a quantum-computing panel discussion.

It was a pleasure to reconnect to my former colleagues and discuss what is my new job now with them.
Besides that, Netzwerk Teilchenwelt also presented the ALICE LEGO project I cohosted recently and the Particle Twister game I codeveloped :)

30k+ on ATLAS 360°

I was just made aware that my 2020 virtual tour of the ATLAS Experiment filmed in 360° view has reached just above 30k views on YouTube.

Great to see that all the up and down in the cavern, spanning twelve levels and endless camera positions, apparently was worth the effort :)

For those of you that prefer a German tour: here you go, I made one just for you as well.
And if you like science videos (in German), also have a look at my German edit of the Belle II video. They both could still need a few more views 😜
