Very excited for the imminent arrival at # SNOLAB of the first undergraduate research summer student with whom I will work directly! Thrilled to get her started at the lab, meet lots of people, and begin thinking about predicting hardware failure before it happens. -

Good morning from the road! We had a lovely evening in Sault Ste. Marie and are now on the way to # SNOLAB ! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/77cd6acc0aa419890e0d918ea29ce758beb611b8898209e689786427bb02ab11/view -

And just like that we are back in # Michigan . We are headed back to Sudbury, but we have to break the trip over today and tomorrow morning. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3e1e5c45969bd099f52cb3e24c31b923ee3a22e58615ff40d915edc12330e1d8/view -

From SuperCDMS https://twitter.com/SuperCDMS on Twitter: Faith Fang, recent @SMUPhysics graduate, completed the @theNAEng Grand Challenges Scholars Program with her work on SuperCDMS. Faith studied the effect of air flow on radon plateout rates on materials used in the SuperCDMS @SNOLABscience experiment. https://t.co/buZ4VGYKA1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/d157dd7413c12a47574d044cd8f4efa1398fc79e53d9ad20f74f5612e87b1e4e/view -

Beautiful morning along Lake Winnebago today. # wisconsin https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/00b21611d26befc77446fe072667e28ac54e98a84429cac4a357862f370c2769/view -

Among the many cool things about moving these towers to SNOLAB to put them underground for installation in SuperCDMS: the collaboration carefully planned the journey to minimize exposure to high levels of cosmic ray radiation. These are sensitive, cutting-edge instruments. https://t.co/E8jzjIlAwH -

From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Though Nightingale died in 1910, there is a wax cylinder recording of her voice made in 1890 by US Civil War veteran George Edward Gouraud. Colonel Gouraud was the British representative of the Edison Phonograph Company. You can listen to it here: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=8PZaHp7mkq A -

Made it as far as Escanaba, MI today, and having a lovely time. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/56830062b12e687fce6983de4e3b62e51fe3bf5c8b6820f174136f94250941f8/view -

From http://status.hackerposse.com/url/24447 on Mastodon: # CMSPaper 1216: The η (=eta) is a special particle.This paper finds a new way the η can decay: into four muons. This is important because it measures muon-photon interactions, and quite accurately at that. That is a precision test of theory predictions, including some inputs to the muonic magnetic dipole moment.… -

I was today years old when I helped to estimate the height of a leak in a cylindrical tank using measurements of fill height and leak rate. I was inspired to try this by my Honors Physics students from SMU, who, over many years, tried to estimate interesting things from limited data. -

Here is a wide-angle shot looking down into the water shiield after concluding the fill today. The tank is about 110 inches in diameter and the water is 90 inches deep. I think this is just a thing of beauty, like dark matter detector meets warp core. The vessel in the center is the pressure vessel, which holds mineral oil. Inside the mineral oil is a set of jars filled w…
