Hello. I've been a little quiet the last week or so, as the teaching part of semester has reached its climax. Today is Friday of week 11, which is the last day that we teach in semester 1. I taught, this morning, my last (ever) class in "High Energy Physics", which is, or was, for one year only, a combined special relativity and particle physics course. For slightly complicated reasons to do with how the University has changed the module structure, there will be a 15 credit (a quarter of the entire semester's credit) course just in relativity next year, which I will be teaching, but I'm done with particle physics, possibly for ever! It feels good. I quite enjoyed teaching it, but found it a bit necessarily phenomenological and difficult to teach because of that. With relativity there is no shirking from the theory.
A couple of posts ago, I boasted about the acceptance of a joint paper between one of my PhD students and me for publication in Physical Review C. This week, a joint paper with one of my other PhD students, along with his co-supervisor, Arnau, was accepted into Physical Review Letters. Go us!

Out of curiosity, have you contacted the press office about the PRL? You should!
ReplyDeleteYes, have got in touch, so hopefully we'll be making a splash when it is released :-)
