AR ATLAS Experiment meets mural CMS Experiment CERN in building 40 CERN - happy I could help with that development from TRIUMF

Can’t believe it’s been ten years already since I arrived at CERN at 6:30am to find a line of summer students that had camped outside the main auditorium over night.

Happy #Higgs10 anniversary! #OnThisDay in 2012, the ATLAS Experiment and CMS Experiment CERN announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. Its existence confirms the existence of the “Higgs field”, which gives mass to elementary particles. Find out more: home.cern/science/physic…

“It took 14 years to build the LHC. At one point we had 1000 dipoles, each costing a million Swiss francs, stored on the surface, throughout rain and snow.” Higgs@10 symposium: Lyn Evans

There should be a German word for „Online shop makes me buy three items to reach the minimum in order not to pay delivery cost and then sends the goods in three separate parcels.“

When you give a lecture & guided tour to students for the Dr. HA(ns) RI(egel) [BO(nn)] foundation, there's only one thank you present you can expect. I was not disappointed. Neither was my team who's being chewing on HARIBOs a bit lately.

Pet project: when trying to understand if the navigation of our predictor modules are finding all candidate surfaces/modules in a detector region, an adequate animation is really helpful. The human eye and brain is such a great pattern recognition engine.

My son is giving ‘food hugs’ after he eats to say “thank you” and I wonder why pre-pandemic this wasn’t the standard way in restaurants to add to the tip when you really enjoyed it. It is damn convincing.

Cars like: lane assistant, park assistant, brake assistant, traction control, service reminder, … Cars also: surely your 3yr old left all the interior lights on intentionally, so I will let the battery drain until the engine doesn’t start anymore

Biased, representative, or both. Full disclosure: ran the same, slightly rephrased task four times to get the intended pun, the other three attempts had a 3:1 ratio on the first four results.

Your contribution entitled “Article”, pull our attention to invite you as Speaker at the event. We would like to invite you for the Scientific Collaboration as Speaker at this meeting. ... looks like they really want me as a keynote speaker there.

Congratulations! Happy that we could contribute our share to this amazing result by providing the open source track reconstruction software ACTS (github.com/acts-project/a…) #opensource #software #openscience #collaboration

Nowadays, I hardly find enough time to read; I am happy the CERN Courier gave me the incentive to read this one.

Makes me laugh every time: priority boarding groups with bus shuttle to the plane.

My view today when leaving CERN - before I learned that Peter Higgs had died. I take it as a salute from physics to one who helped us to understand it a little better.

The ATLAS Collaboration mourns the passing of renowned physicist Peter Higgs, whose theoretical work reshaped our understanding of the Universe. (1/2) atlas.cern/Updates/News/P…
