                        So happy. I was once told by a math professor at Yale around midterm that if I intended to be a particle physicist, I needed to do better in his class. Then I took group theory from a physicist. Then I understood it, and did better. The problem was not group theory. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1390072548902244355/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/71896

                              2. CERN approves new LHC experiment
                                from CERN
                                The world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator is getting a new experiment. In March 2021, the CERN Research Board approved the ninth experiment at the Large Hadron Collider: SND@LHC, or Scattering and Neutrino Detector at the LHC. Designed to detect and study neutrinos, particles similar to the electron but with no electric charge and very low mass, the experiment will complement and extend the physics reach of the other LHC experiments. SND@LHC is especially complementary to FASERν, a neutrino subdetector of the FASER experiment, which has just recently been installed in the LHC tunnel. Neutrinos have been detected from many sources, but they remain the most enigmatic fundamental particles in the universe. FASERν and SND@LHC will make measurements of neutrinos produced at a particle collider for the first time, and could thus open a new frontier in neutrino physics. SND@LHC is a compact apparatus consisting of a neutrino target followed downstream by a device to detect muons, the heavier cousins of electrons, produced when the neutrinos interact with the target. The target is made from tungsten plates interleaved with emulsion films and electronic tracking devices. The emulsion films reveal the tracks of the particles produced in the neutrino interactions, while the electronic tracking devices provide time stamps for these tracks. Together with the muon detector, the tracking devices also measure the energy of the neutrinos. Like FASERν, SND@LHC will be able to detect neutrinos of all types – electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. Unlike FASERν, which is located on one side of the ATLAS detector and along the LHC’s beamline (the line travelled by particle beams in the collider), SND@LHC will be positioned slightly off the beamline, on the opposite side of ATLAS. This location will allow SND@LHC to detect neutrinos produced at small angles with respect to the beamline, but larger than those covered by FASERν. “The angular range that SND@LHC will cover is currently unexplored,” says SND@LHC spokesperson Giovanni De Lellis. “And because a large fraction of the neutrinos produced in this range come from the decays of particles made of heavy quarks, these neutrinos can be used to study heavy-quark particle production in an angular range that the other LHC experiments can’t access.” What’s more, SND@LHC will also be able to search for new particles – very weakly interacting particles that are not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and could make up dark matter. SND@LHC will be installed in an unused tunnel that links the LHC to the Super Proton Synchrotron over the course of 2021, and it is expected to begin taking data when the LHC starts up again in 2022. ____ Find out more about SND@LHC in this Experimental Physics newsletter article.

                                  Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. Photo credit: Andrea Raffin / Shutterstock.com When May 4 rolls around each year, it's traditionally that cringe-worthy moment when those non-Star Wars fans grin and bear it when someone says goodbye by saying 'may the fourth be with you'. Cringe-worthy or not, it is a day born out of the Hallmark playbook warranting some sort of greeting card. On this May 4, we remember London-born Peter Mayhew who played Chewbacca, the furry warrior, smuggler, mechanic, pilot, and resistance fighter who fought in the Clone Wars, the Galactic Civil War, and the conflict and subsequent war between the First Order and the Resistance. In his spare time, Chewie was Hans Solo's Millennium Falcon co-pilot and was part of a core group of Rebels who restored freedom to the galaxy. Mayhew portrayed the most well-known Wookiee from from the 1977 original Star Wars film to 2015's The Force Awakens when he shared the role with Finnish actor and former professional basketball player,

                                            @clacke Yeah I get that, here it's a file on my desktop that gets filtered by a script, there's stuff from nearly 10 years ago in there so I quite trust it.
                                            Meanwhile I don't trust a phone for even keeping contacts.

                                            @clacke Medical science here is paid for with tax dollars and then the treatments and care are sold back to the taxpayer at high prices through a private system. AND states have sold the information to various entities—Texas sold theirs to the Pentagon, for some reason. So, it's a hellscape herre.

                                            My beautiful half Haitian mother will be roasting a pig tonight, just like Kamala Harris did during the debate.

                                            @brianstorms @clacke @countcol the pornographers are always at the forefront of any viable new technology. Which is why their lack of interest in crypto currency is telling.

                                            @eliasr det var en händelse som fördes på Twitter när KD tog upp ämnet
                                            om SD:s rasistiska & nazistiska "förflutna".
                                            Åkesson blev rasande & påminde Busch att "självgoda finborgare" i KD styr landet under hans nåder. Buschs uttryckte att: "De [SD] har den bakgrund de har. Kom över det nu. Vi har uppenbarligen kunnat göra det. Hon erkände att hon & KD inte har några problem att ge inflytande åt SD & deras uppenbart levande rötter.
