W mass in ATLAS e-News

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 :-)

Discworld – Mort

After finishing the Rincewind story and the little digression to the discovery of the longitude I am back to the Discworld … This time I started the story of one of my most favourite characters on the Discworld: ‘I COULD MURDER A CURRY’ – Death. A story about him trying to find a apprentice! Another great one, even though the end is a bit odd, I think!?

Foosball Tournament

Yesterday was the first game day of the amazing “Kicken & Kieken” (to kick and to watch) foosball tournament!
This actually means that we, together with some 20 and more friends, are having a table football league at our place! With all the things you need for a proper league: We’ve got eleven teams, live video (and video archives), online-stats, a betting-game and some party and/or relaxing time with a movie (Little Miss Sunshine – very good) afterwards.
All results, stats and videos can be found on my webpage (you need to be a member for the latter one though)!
