    From aaas https://twitter.com/aaas on Twitter: If you ask scientists to define life, you literally get hundreds of different answers. Im not exaggerating, says three-time @AAASKavli Award-winner @carlzimmer. His new book Lifes Edge explores what it means to be alive.

      I take over #PHYS1303 next week from @profcooley and she heads off to teach the 2nd half of a special Higgs/Dark Matter course. Today I joined class to learn her best practices. 1 minute into her problem demo, she loses her notes and under the bus I go. Trial by fire! :-)

                A Delphes card for the EIC yellow-report detector
                from arXiv.org
                The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Yellow Report specified parameters for the general-purpose detector that can deliver the scientific goals delineated by the EIC White Paper and NAS report. These parameters dictate the tracking momentum resolution, secondary-vertex resolutions, calorimeter energy resolutions, as well as $π/K/p$ ID. We have incorporated these parameters into a configuration card for Delphes, which is a widely used "C++ framework, for performing a fast multipurpose detector response simulation". We include both the 1.5 T and 3.0 T scenarios. We also show the expected performance for high-level quantities such as jets, missing transverse energy, charm tagging, and others. These parametrizations can be easily updated with more refined Geant4 studies, which provides an efficient way to perform simulations to benchmark a variety of observables using state-of-the art event generators such as Pythia8.

                                  Science Requirements and Detector Concepts for the Electron-Ion Collider: EIC Yellow Report
                                  from arXiv.org
                                  This report describes the physics case, the resulting detector requirements, and the evolving detector concepts for the experimental program at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC will be a powerful new high-luminosity facility in the United States with the capability to collide high-energy electron beams with high-energy proton and ion beams, providing access to those regions in the nucleon and nuclei where their structure is dominated by gluons. Moreover, polarized beams in the EIC will give unprecedented access to the spatial and spin structure of the proton, neutron, and light ions. The studies leading to this document were commissioned and organized by the EIC User Group with the objective of advancing the state and detail of the physics program and developing detector concepts that meet the emerging requirements in preparation for the realization of the EIC. The effort aims to provide the basis for further development of concepts for experimental equipment best suited for the science needs, including the importance of two complementary detectors and interaction regions. This report consists of three volumes. Volume I is an executive summary of our findings and developed concepts. In Volume II we describe studies of a wide range of physics measurements and the emerging requirements on detector acceptance and performance. Volume III discusses general-purpose detector concepts and the underlying technologies to meet the physics requirements. These considerations will form the basis for a world-class experimental program that aims to increase our understanding of the fundamental structure of all visible matter

                                  If, at an interaction point, an electron-proton collision occurs and there is no detector there to see it, does it matter? No. Which is why I am excited for this and next week's workshops on planning detectors for the electron-ion collider! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1370518301361717249/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/71360

                                            @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.
