   Looking forward to exploring with my #PHYS3305 students the implications of the quantum mechanical application of the harmonic oscillator model tomorrow. Let's spend a little time with our... um... "friend"... carbon monoxide! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1245502791566721026/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64368

   As we have explored a little this semester, Bragg Scattering would also prove a crucial tool in directly revealing the wave nature of matter. #PHYS3305 https://twitter.com/nobelprize/status/1244870546040422400

   Moar decaying muons! This weekend I learned how to generate the error band in the fit plot in Python. This is also the first evening the low side of the error band in the highest decay time bins has NOT included zero at 1 sigma. Statistics filling in nicely!

   "Sunday in the Park with Pandemic" Scenes from Collin County, TX. Sidewalk chalked with Biblical messages, presumably ahead of Easter. â**Spread hope, not Coronavirusâ** one implores. The sidewalk runs in front of the park. Itâ**s a city park. A sign is staked into the ground nearby, indicating the park is closed by order of the city. Children climb the monkey bars and…

    Let's get our muon lifetime fix! Since starting this report, the detector recorded 3931 muon decay candidates over 339 hours of continuous data-taking. An exponential decay + flat combinatoric model gives a lifetime of 2176 +/- 36 nanoseconds. Model visualization is fancier now! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1243676968790474760/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64079

    From megwatzke https://twitter.com/megwatzke on Twitter: What's a pulsar? It's the dense, rotating core left behind after a giant star collapses. This is the Vela pulsar, which rotates faster than a helicopter rotor and shoots out jets about 70% the speed of light that @chandraxray sees. #space #science https://twitter.com/megwatzke/status/1243161851057201153/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64057

    Your daily #muon decay lifetime measurement! Surprise... the "missing bins" have filled in since I mentioned them yesterday. Nature delivered a bunch of muons in the "gap" regions that existed yesterday. Be careful about fretting over small statistics...! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1242950257270497286/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64041

    There is a lot of attention on exponential functions with the growth of #COVID19 Here's a less scary example of exponential behavior in nature: the decay probability of #muons, heavy cousins of #electrons. This is running continuously and based on 266 hours of data so far. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1242572407505850374/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64027

    Digital teaching, followed by analog run. It was another good digital teaching day. Held my #PHYS3305 class, which is interactive (students break into groups using breakout rooms and work together to solve problems). Gathered work/answers using Canvas. #ZoomLife #FacultyLife https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1242570216929996805/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64024

    Had an AWESOME @SMUPhysics #PHYS1010 (Honors Physics) digital class last night. The 5 teams each gave 10 minute talks on the status of the "Physics of Video Games" grand challenge problem. 15 participants, lively discussions, ended nearly on time, almost zero technical problems! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1242454181010644992/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/64017
