    Near the end of my PhD - when to start applying for jobs

    Thanks again for your answers! I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this. Are these like agencies that control this type of jobs? Mmmm, I see. So I guess that it might be good to have extra knowledge that might excel your application when competing with CS. Would taking some sort of finances...

    Experimental High Energy Physicist: Daily Life & How to Use Creativity

    I'm in the same situation. Is hard because everyone in the group that I'm joining has been working in this for at least 3 years, so I feel all the time that they know too much and that I don't know anything. However my supervisor is a fine lady who tells me that this is the normal process...

    Near the end of my PhD - when to start applying for jobs

    Thank you for your answers! I still don't hate NY because I've never been there XD, however I'm in Toronto and since this city is also kind of a financial capital, I suppose there could be something in the area here. What I don't get is this: this financial companies hire PhD physicist...

    Near the end of my PhD - when to start applying for jobs

    Thanks for your answer. I would like to know what you must have for this transition to be possible. Any specific abilities? connections? experience in something? Age? Is this better than the post-doc -> assistant professor -> tenure road in terms of how soon you will be having a decent and...

    Near the end of my PhD - when to start applying for jobs

    Oh, as someone starting a MSc in HEP-ex, this topic is very discouraging. Why don't you guys stop talking about flipping burgers, minimum wages, etc. and tell us about how to transition from this field to finance for example?

    Experimental High Energy Physicist: Daily Life & How to Use Creativity

    Hi, I'm a new graduate student joining a group that works on the analysis of T2K data. (T2K is a huge collaboration in Japan). I've seen that you have a wrong view of how the analysis is done. It is not just typing commands in ROOT, it is about really understanding and modelling the highly...

    I want to work in a space agency Which path should I choose?

    Hello everybody! I'm currently in the last year of my undergraduate studies in physics and I'm really happy because I'm finally having the chance to focus on what I like, Astronomy. Next year I'll be starting a Master Degree in the National Observatory here in Colombia but I'm also planning...

    Covariant Maxwell Equations in Materials

    Thanks. The problem is that i haven't been able to check that book, it's neither in the library nor online. ¿Any other place?

    Covariant Maxwell Equations in Materials

    ¿Nobody? I've been checking Landau's book but i can't find them :'(. There's a Wikipedia article but it's all messed,maybe after this and on vacation I fix it.

    Covariant Maxwell Equations in Materials

    Hi everybody, I have this simple question. ¿Where can I find the covariant maxwell equations in materials?. I've already one and proved they correctly represent the non-homogene maxwell equations, is this one \partial_{\nu}F^{\nu\mu}+\Pi^{\mu\nu}A_{\nu}=J^{\mu}_{libre} with the tensor...

    Emission of Gamma and Beta rays : Experimental Problem

    If you get only N, then you'd be saying that there is a lineal relation betwwen thenumber of counts and the distance. With log(N), the relation would be exponential, as it is.

    Whats is the normal age to graduate with a MEng in the United States

    Well, that might be true in U.S., but I live in Colombia, and here being over thirty is reason enough to have a hard time looking for a well-paid job. The thing is that here age matters, a lot.

    Emission of Gamma and Beta rays : Experimental Problem

    Yeah, that was great. Just one thing, I think it's not N what is proportional to the integral, but log(N). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Emission of Gamma and Beta rays : Experimental Problem

    Thank you, great answer. I haven't calculate the integral, but i believe you. Thanks again.
