@WKCosmo It's all about magnets! If there were a magical way to safely produce and operate magnets at (say) 100T, the reachable energy scale even with the LHC tunnel would increase drastically
@WKCosmo hep-ex people seem to take this as a hard constraint and blame material scientists for it, instead of trying to put extra effort into this R&D
Could we PLEASE stop hyping every 1.5 sigma excess as "a hint of new physics"? This is seriously damaging the reputation of the field once all these excesses go away.
@WKCosmo Back in my days, the undergrad particle physics course said "top is too short-lived to form bound states". It's like finding a stamp from Czechoslovakia emitted in 2024. Rewriting the textbooks should feel cool.
@DrAndreDavid@CERN@Fermilab@kek_en a somewhat popular narrative among Chinese scientists is that the sustainability discourse is imposed by Europeans in order to limit Chinese economical/scientific growth
This thing of private list of participants or no online list of participants should end here. Come on, conferences exist with the purpose of talking with colleagues, if you don't know who'll be there how the hell are you supposed to know if you are interested in being there?
