PhD studentship!

Posted Jun19-09 at 04:35 AM by malawi_glenn

So I finally made it to the PhD studentship in theoretical high energy physics!

Now I have a lot to learn, good to know what field I will be into the next 4years. I will mainly do supersymmetry and astroparticle physics. Thus, I will try to get a couple of good Standard Model and SUSY phenemology books and study them at the same time I improve my programming skills. My original plan was to learn QFT REALLY good, I have to postpone that til after I know the basic ingredients for my...

Progress with PHD student application

Posted Apr29-09 at 01:32 PM by malawi_glenn

So, my application for the phd studentship at the Theoretical Particle Physics group at Uppsala University has done very well! Many many applications, and I am among the 3 top candidates! Yesterday I performed a presentation of physics and was interviewed. Very exciting :-)

Crackpots vs. New Age

Posted Apr21-09 at 12:13 AM by malawi_glenn

Crackpots; persons who make up their own scientific theories - without using science, seems to be strongly correlated with persons who are into New Age and similar movements.

My latest finding was actually a member on this forum who is member and chief-staff in a New Age oriented club/fellowship who believes that one should not wear clothes, since that was not what God ('the Creator') intended humankind to be, i.e. they are nudists.

One thing to know about crackpots...

Easter holiday

Posted Apr6-09 at 01:33 AM by malawi_glenn

18days of holiday awaiting!

I am in phase with almost all my classes, so there will be plenty of time to go to the gym and hang out with my friends.

I will also continue my Supersymmetry studies, I am on chapter 4 here (http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/p...hison/susy.pdf ) my goal is to have covered at least chapter 8.

Exam and Phd-studentship

Posted Mar13-09 at 01:28 PM by malawi_glenn

So now exam in relativistic quantum physics is over! I should be able to get the highest grade, only sloppy errors can make me fail this one.

Now I have to catch up with the Quark- and hadron physics class and the project I got from my former thesis supervisor on eta-decays.

I also need to write a good application for a phd-studentship in theoretical particle physics, I think I have a chance on that one.

Now, it's Pizza time!
