   From ATLASexperiment https://twitter.com/ATLASexperiment on Twitter: Light-by-light scattering is a very rare process in which particles of light interact and change direction. In a new result presented at #LHCP2020, ATLAS used - scattering to search for an exciting new phenomenon: #axion-like particles.

   I've been in the ATLAS Experiment for about 10 years and it still boggles my mind that it takes about 10 hours to simulate the detector's response to particles from 100 proton-proton collisions. (not bunch collisions - p-p collisions)

    Enjoy the work of the Spring 2020 @SMUPhysics Honors Physics students. Their investigations into the physics of video games, using introductory physics concepts, is available online: https://t.co/ZL1dqDY2sm We can't have an in-person poster night, so enjoy this digital one. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1257737897962332161/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/65093

    It is Saturday morning, and I am replicating one of my Honors Physics team's experiment to determine drag force in MineCraft by dropping by sand blocks. I freaking love science.

    "Racing toward 25%" Friday (tomorrow) is the day that Texas’s Governor allows all businesses to reopen, but only if they cap their in-house customers at 25% of capacity for their facility. So where is my county, Collin County, right now? Anticipating this “momentous” day of continuing to re-open businesses in Texas, Collin County is stalled in its fight … Continue reading "Racing toward 25%" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2020/04/30/racing-toward-25/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ )

    "Introduction to Modern Physics" is done. I won't teach the course again in the fall. I've made a new public-facing course page, complete with all lecture notes available in book form. This is a direct conversion of my Beamer LATEX slides to book format. https://people.smu.edu/ssekula/main/teaching/phys3305/ https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1256038696920461312/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/65042

    I am pleased that I got to say "Minas Ithil isn't going to rebuild itself!" today. Felt good.
