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 …

New Office


Yeehaaa!
Finally we managed to get into our new “ATLAS TopOffice” in one of the old villas at DESY Zeuthen with an even nicer view on the lake than I had before :-)
Besides this inprovement we also got new computers and screens and everything … wooow!
Unfortunately I still have to do work there ;-)

Maria Laach

Maria LaachI just returned from the 39th German Autumn School for High Energy Physics Maria Laach.
Maria Laach is a monastery in western Germany located in the caldera of an old vulcano.
Covering lectures from cool to reasonable good, from detetor physics to extra dimensions as well as exercises on Feynman diagrams and group talks.
For physicists: One of the guys doing all that elektroweak radiative-corrections stuff I used in my master thesis (Uli Baur) was there and also one of the heads in extra dimension theories (Nima Arkani-Hamed)… both with cool lectures!

ML-2007

Physics gives me a hadron!

Sorry for my infatile humour and writing insider jokes on my blog, but today I heard about this nice groupname at facebook… haven’t checked out the group or even facebook itself though!

It’s stupid… I know, but still in a way quite genius, isn’t it!
