The ATLAS e-News recently published an article written by Troels (my former supervisor) about the forseen precision measurement of the W boson mass at ATLAS. Illustrating the development of the measured value and its uncertainty and giving a short summary of the results we published in our note (to be published soon, hopefully).
I am, amoung others, also mentioned in the end :-)

CERN Open Day 2008 – April 6th
This is your one last chance to enter CERN’s fascinating world of science and technology!
This is literally gonna be the coolest place in the universe!
You can visit the tunnel and all experiments for the last time!
Meet and Greet with Peter Jenni
Yesterday I had a little meet and greet with Peter Jenni, the spokesman of the ATLAS experiment. He has given a sort of “understandable-for-everyone” talk in the Helmholtz Lectures Program at Humboldt-University of Berlin. Afterwards we’ve been invited to a little reception, where I had the chance to talk a bit to our btw. very nice spokesman about this and that … unfortunately no pictures have been made this evening :-(
CinéGlobe
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…
