As a professional physicist, I have responsibilities including…freyablekman (55)in steemstem • 7 years agoParticle physics data taking and analysing - a 'quick' overviewOne of the most common questions I get most as a particle physicist has to do with how we collect data and then analyse the data. So in this post I will discuss the process from collision to plot…freyablekman (55)in steemstem • 7 years agoParticle physics humourJust seen at CERN: A door with so many signs that you need a PhD to open it One can never have enough signs?!? source: @freyablekman on twitter Today I spent most of the day…freyablekman (55)in steemstem • 7 years agoWhat does an experimental particle physicist do: Measure particles!One of the most important parts of my work is to measure particles. Loads of particles. The particles I typically measure come from the collisions of the Large Hadron Collider. However, elementary…freyablekman (55)in steemstem • 7 years agoWhat does an experimental particle physicist do: the simple answerThe shortest answer of what experimental particle physicists do is "we break particles to check what is inside and then build cameras to actually look at the broken particles. Then we interpret…freyablekman (55)in steemstem • 7 years agoIntroduceyourself: Particle Physicist at the Compact Muon Solenoid at CERNI'm an experimental particle physicist working at the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the LHC. (this is the experiment I work on. No white coats, but safety helmets!) As this is quite an…
