ICHEP is over. After the last plenary session the few remaining braves stormed out of the auditorium, strained with conference fatigue, and headed back home. I must confess, I found a week-long conference, with six full days packed with presentations, pretty long and tiring. I'm not completely surprised that in the last days not many [...]
If you have lived in France (but not in Paris) at least for a little while, you have certainly learned the hard way that there's no France outside Paris. Or, like the inhabitants of the City of Light prefer to put it, Paris est la France, et la France est Paris. While there ...
Now we know, the Higgs boson did not show up at Tevatron. Yet. But we also know that, if it exists, we would not find it in the 158-175 GeV mass range. The finally came to an end, certainly matching the expectation, at least for what concerns the show part. Well, as for the scientific [...]
Featuring Steve Myers and the status of LHC, the Spokespersons of the LHC experiments and their highlights, physicists queuing for the Presidential speech, Nicolas Sarkozy at ICHEP, the new Tevatron Higgs combination. Have fun.
The Fermi Sky Not everyone is visiting Paris (but still...) A supernova exploding in Salle Maillot Lonely poster session The trouble with Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays Preparing for the President...
Saturday sessions were not really well attended. if we exclude the one on CP violation, CKM and Rare Decays that succeed in packing a lot of people in one of the smaller rooms. Maybe the average ICHEP participant decided to make the grasse matinee, or simply to be a tourist in the City of Light [...]
Friday afternoon I sat again in a relatively packed room for the Higgs session. The effect of the rumor seems to fade away, but there is still quite a buzz around the Tevatron Higgs searches, especially because our friends are professionally distilling their results at a tantalizing pace, and - in case you missed that [...]
Mi chiamo Marco Delmastro, sono un fisico delle particelle che lavora all'esperimento ATLAS al CERN di Ginevra.
Su Borborigmi di un fisico renitente divago di vita all'estero lontani dall'Italia, fisica delle particelle e divulgazione scientifica, ricerca fondamentale, tecnologia e comunicazione nel mondo digitale, educazione, partecipazione politica e militanza quotidiana, montagna, fotografia, metafisica e altre amenità.
A volte chiacchiero di fisica con il mio cane Oliver, cosa che sembra avere un successo particolare, e probabilmente la dice lunga sul livello della divulgazione scientifica in lingua italiana.
