Today I got a warm welcome to a new job within ATLAS. After one year as co-convener of the ATLAS SUSY subgroup for R-parity violating and long-lived signatures, which ends today, I’ll have the pleasure to be co-convener of the ATLAS Exotics subgroup for Unconventional signatures and Exotic Higgs searches for one year starting tomorrow.
Once again, it’s an exiting time as in 2016 we might get up to ten times the data we had in 2015. I’m very much looking forward :)
ATLAS Experiment © 2016 CERNAfter a great year 2015 and the usual winter break, the LHC is back up and produced the first beam splash events in the ATLAS detector last week. Only a couple of weeks/days and we’ll have stable beams and physics data again … find out more here.
Time for a small anniversary celebration … my CERN user account was created exactly eleven years ago :)
Ever thought about the physics of pancake throwing? No?!
Apparently some people did and came up with an ‘interesting’ formula.
Last week I was contacted by a TV production company that wanted to make short clip about some formula on pancake throwing they found on the net and needed some information / check on.
Dr. Mark J. Hadley of Warwick University has derived a simple equation, that might or might not be a reasonable approximation.
It lacks a few details, though some are discussed, and completely ignores the shape of the pan, but then again …
Unfortunately, I did not yet find out when and where the clip is to be shown on TV :(
Still, it was fun reading and physics :)
Today, I received this very nice box with two copies of the book “GoBD und Big Data: Neue Herausforderungen für die digitale Datenanalyse”, two bottles of wine and a kind letter from the Deggendorfer Forum zur digitalen Datenanalyse e.V., to celebrate the publication of the proceedings for the annual meeting I went to end of June.
It’s also a celebration of my first book as an author on Amazon :)
Thanks a lot to Prof. Georg Herde and the DFDDA e.V. for inviting me and of course for the gift box :)
