Today I’ve been to the “Inertia”-session of the CinéGlobe short film festival in the “The Globe of Science and Innovation” at CERN. They had some very nice movies in the session, like “Moment de Gloire“, “EQUIPAJES“, “LA GUERRA” and “In memoriam“.

The Machine
Another time me and the machine, ATLAS! Its alwas a moving moment to see this masterpiece of physics engineering, especially for me doing all of the actual work in front of a computer and never really getting in touch with the hardware. You feel this certain satisfaction, when walking through the little radiation protection tunnel with a small blue door at the end to then enter the huge canvern, housing the now almost as huge ATLAS detector. Simply one of the coolest things ever…
LHCb & Dvorak & Betting Game
Today I had a tour of the LHCb detector and the associated electronics and computing parts (thanks to Gareth). Not quite as big as ATLAS but still very impressive!
I’ll put some more pictures in the gallery…
In the evening I followed the invitation of the CERN Concerts Club and listened to some Dvorak, Gershwin and Mersson music in the CERN main auditorium.
And last but not least … after some complains, the betting game on my webpage has finally got a new and more reasonable mode for evaluating rugby games ;-)
Early Flight
Another time at CERN and always a pleasure! I had to take the early flight leaving at 6h20. Which was kind of a pain in the a**, but I got a bit rewarded by the view on the sunrise though.
Over the weekend I am staying at Troels’ place …
Another ATLAS poster
My most favourite experiment just got a new poster showing some of the people working on it… unfortunately it’s only a collection of people…
I have to admit that the poster is probably not the beautiest, but still fun though!
each person shows up several times… found myself twice so far.
