Yesterday the ATLAS Inner Detector (ID) Barrel was tranported and installed into ATLAS. This includes the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) barrel which is the machine I am mostly working on…
It’s getting closer and closer to the point where the real physics will start…

Back again
Finally I am back in Copenhagen and online…
Horrible Internet connection/availability in Strasbourg… anyway!
The school was nice… even though it can’t reach the CERN one… also due to the lack of PPJB
btw I met some people from CERN during the school, like Susanne (GER), Laura (GER) and of course Katrin (DK)…
I managed to get all the stats for the World Cup Gamble done and now I am just waiting for the winners to get their prizes… ;-) Congrats to Shaun, Heike, Katrin and hansaspieler!
Now I am fighting myself through a big pile of emails in my accounts from the last two weeks…
damit… being offline really stinks… how can people manage?
Somehow I get the fealing I am an Internet addict?! nevermind… could be worse!
Now I need some sleep…
Bis den
Things to come
Today the Scientific Policy Committee (SPC) of CERN released a first final plan for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC):
– beam pipe closure at the end of August ’07
– followed by LHC commissioning runs at 450+450 GeV (till end of ’07)
– shut-down for final machine commissioning
– followed by first physics runs at 14 TeV (full luminosity by end of ’08)
This might sound strange and boring for all non-physicists (even for some of them), but it’s at least a bit interesting for all those working for/at CERN…
I wonder if the B40-masterpiece will still be there at this time… PPJB rulez!
Danish student
looks like I might actually become a danish student quite soon… since I just got the results (8.5/9.0) of my IELTS exam, being the last hurdle to take…
let’s cross fingers that they wont find some new bureaucratic barrier
now the only thing that’s left is the actual thesis.
Dansk Fysisk Selskab
Again I am going to the Annual meeting of the Danish Physical Society in Nyborg (June 1st-2nd)…
Just got the GO for a sponsored participation… which means some nice physics and food!
