Quantum Diaries

September 5, 2010
It already feels like fall. Munich has been quite cold and rainy lately, and even on days with sunshine, the thermometer never made it above 20 degrees C. Last weekend I had to get out my long cycling pants when I took my bike for a spin. Passing by a local lake that is usually [...]

Around 8 months ago, I returned to the UK from CERN with a fresh enthusiasm and readiness to write up, and declared that I was beginning the challenge of the thesis. Of course, nothing is that simple. A PhD is an organic and unusual creature, constantly evolving, and many of us face the danger of [...]

The excitement is growing: After I saw the first pieces for the absorber structure for our test beam in the fall during my last trip to CERN, photographic proof is now circulating that the mechanics are completely assembled: Several tons of Tungsten, all arranged in 30 vertical plates. Behind it all will go a special [...]

Did I get on the wrong flight? Not really possible nowadays, I know… That’s why they don’t do the “destination check” announcement anymore. But, if this is Munich, what is a Lighthouse doing next to my place? Apparently, a Hamburg Fishmarket will be here for the next couple of days… Lets see, it might be more [...]

The fifth annual CERN / Fermilab Hadron Physics summer school is currently going on right now at Fermilab in the Wilson Hall High Rise. This annual summer school is a great opportunity for young physicists to listen to lectures about the field of high energy physics both experimental and theory. Furthermore, these  lectures [...]

I usually don’t just post links, but this one really deserves it: check out Matt Might’s take on what is exactly a doctorate? It definitely rings true to me.

Summer season is often synonymous to conference season. And in Japan, conference organizers know how to escape the summer heat for a few days. That’s why we find ourselves this week at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The seminar house where the Summer Institute 2010 on String Theory and Cosmology takes place, is called Fuji [...]

I contributed to an interesting project yesterday – the3six5 is a diary of 2010 written worldwide by a new person each day who also submits a photo that encompasses the feeling. My day was relatively relaxing after a busy week on Birmingham’s Entrepreneurship and Enterprise summer school. The spirit of what I wrote can be [...]

Two weeks after returning from our big European trip, we did a very short trip within Japan: we visited the string theorists at Nagoya University, or short, Meidai. (You may wonder how this abbreviation comes about. The Japanese name of Nagoya University is Nagoya Daigaku, ?????. The first kanji of the two words are ??. [...]

It has been a long time since my last blog. It has been, and will continue to be, a very busy time for me, with thesis progress, job searches and relocation plans. As is often true of summer, there are many weddings and other celebrations going on too. However, in the middle of this busy [...]

An interesting side effect of having an email that is associated with a University physics department is that occasionally you will be sent messages (along with the rest of your department) from some “Independent researcher” with grand claims of having solved ALL the “problems” and “inconsistencies” that abound in modern physics using just simple straightforward [...]

“Ah…. Tu vas voir, c’est une expérience superbe” m’ont dit tant de personnes quand je leur ai dit que j’allais participer à l’école européenne de physique des hautes énergies. Je peux maintenant le confirmer c’est avant tout une aventure humaine inoubliable, c’est incroyable de voir a quel point on peux se sentir proche des autres [...]

Since late Sunday night, I’m at DESY in Hamburg for a series of meetings, first on the CALICE Analog HCAL, then on plans for a new EU Project, and finally for the ILD workshop. Lots of things to discuss, ranging from test beam plans, financial matters, detector engineering to physics simulations and general physics issues [...]

This week, I am back in Amsterdam, attending the Amsterdam Summer Workshop. The attendance is of a very high caliber, and as for the lectures, there is one highlight chasing the next. Apart from that, it’s great to see my old colleagues again. On Monday, my former boss Robbert Dijkgraaf, the most dynamic and surely [...]
