Admissions Can Networking Help You Land a PhD in Experimental Astroparticle Physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the prospects of securing a PhD in Astroparticle Physics, particularly for candidates with a background in data analysis related to the LHC/ATLAS projects. Having experience in this area is viewed positively, as it demonstrates familiarity with relevant terminology and concepts. The importance of leveraging existing professional networks is emphasized, with advice to seek guidance on whom to contact rather than directly asking for job opportunities. This approach can enhance the chances of finding suitable PhD positions in the field.

Thanks.

Pretty good. You know the jargon, but most importantly: you have a network. Mobilize it. Don't ask folks for a job but ask whom to talk to and if you may use their network
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
