Just in Time
A new paper I was involved with came out today which documents some of the instrumental work that kept me busy during the two years I spent as a CERN fellow. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-0221/18/05/P05005 The paper documents the performance of the tiny 1mm x 1mm sensors pictured above: they are called LGADs (low-gain avalanche diodes), and we…

Start of a new era!
Last week, I officially started a new job as a Junior Professor at the Laboratoire de Physique de Clermont. The lab is part of the Université Clermont Auvergne, in Clermont-Ferrand in France: a busy student town nestling on the edge of the stunning Chaine des Puys range of ancient volcanoes. Clermont-Ferrand is also the birthplace…
