Stable beams are the best beams
De laatste run van de Large Hadron Collider (LHC) op CERN is begonnen. Aan het eind van deze periode gaat de LHC voor vier jaar uit bedrijf voor een grote ombouw.

Such a cool way to show people the “invisible” microscopic world whizzing around them! ⚛️🧪
Lecturing this week on particle accelerators and detectors, gonna make our own cloud chamber today 🧑🔬
💥Splash! 💥
CMS sees splashes of protons in the detector: beams of protons are whizzed around the #LHC and crash into a barrier just before the CMS detector! We use these splashes to calibrate the detector before starting full particle collisions, due to take place in the coming days.
C’est quoi ce bordel?
👨🎓 Today at University of Twente: PhD defense of @nandotolboom.bsky.social on the usage of gas mixtures in sorption-based coolers
image showing Halvemaansteeg, Amsterdam, then and now. Top: black-and-white photo from 1979 with cars and a taxi dominating a narrow street, people squeezed onto small pavements. Bottom: modern colour photo of the same street, now car-free with a child cycling on the cycleway
Halvemaansteeg & Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam in 1979 and today.
From car-choked streets with little space for people to a lively car-free area with only trams, pedestrians & bikes permitted. Cafes and outdoor seating dominate the area.
A reminder to politicians: design streets for the city you want.
Bonjour ☀️
Hier in Limburg ook 😎
It giet oan!
Good morning ☀️
Where is H->cc?

Hoe gaat het eigenlijk met ITER? We missen Marco de Baar hier op BlueSky, maar net even wat foto’s bekeken en het is echt indrukwekkend. Klassieke: ‘big science megastructure’ 🤩
Good morning in Twente
On the flip side: just watched the Olympic 1500m with the students directly after the HEP lecture 😅
Bring it on!

Funding U-turn will cost UK trust and leadership, partners say.
Senior European physicists say country’s status as “reliable partner” damaged by withdrawal of pledged investment.

On my way to University of Twente.. why is it always so cold when I’m lecturing about High Energy Physics?
Ik zit er weer klaar voor 🎵 🎶

Finished the 4 editions of the crosscup today: through the woods, via the beach and over the hills 🏃♂️

Gefeliciteerd!
Ouch
I understand the angle here, but I wouldn't want people to think that all this furore is just about LHCb. STFC plans to cut particle physics and astronomy research in the UK by 30%. That means one in three researchers risk losing their jobs. One in three university groups may close. Serious shit.
