Faith and Physics / Glaube und Physik
In the framework of her matura paper, a student interviewed me on my view on faith, physics and the relation of the two. Read yourself:
The too fast CERN neutrinos
I have left CERN for good in 1997, and I have never regretted it, even though I spent interesting 5 or 6 years there. However, the interest in what's going on in particle physics has never left me. When in 2011 the OPERA collaboration seemed to observe neutrinos travelling faster than light, I couldn't resist to search for a simple expanation for this impossible phenomenon. My idea was that the coriolis force could explain the effect, and I started calculating:
Ein Planetenweg für den Stöffelpark
Some years ago, I started realising a planetary path within the "Stöffelpark" near my native village in Germany. There exists an interim solution now with posters that can be found here:
Two theses
PhD-thesis (May 1996): "Entwicklung eines Übergangsstrahlungszählers basierend auf Gasmikrostreifendetektoren zur ersten Untersuchung von Sigmaminus-Elektron-Streuung am Hyperonenstrahl des CERN":
Diploma-thesis (August 1993): "Entwicklung von Gasmikrostreifendetektoren auf Plastiksubstraten":
Scientific publications
A paper resulting from my diploma thesis: "Use of ultra thin semiconductive layers as passivation in microstrip gas chambers" (October 1993)
more papers coming soon :)
