Nice view of the shuttle

I found via rss a really good video of the shuttle from a camera in a commercial fly:



Take a look in another place

For a long time I read many things (It doesn't mean I understand it) about the supersymmetry as an explanation of many of the biggest questions in physics. The supersymmetric particles can explain the problem of the matter quantity in the universe. This problem is simple, the universe has to have more matter than we saw to be like we saw.

Today I read a post about a different way to find this undiscovered matter. Many time I read about astrophysical ways to try to see something in the sky. But this time is different, we like to try to create this matter as a collision result in the way to know if this can exist in this universe.

Deeper read about this type of matter, I think, can be the Wikipedia's article about neutralinos. Also there is in spanish a really good writter, who wrote about the amazin world of the particles.

Nice view of a synchrotron

Yesterday, I celebrate the airplane license flying an helicopter... From the helicopter notification point Sierra of Sabadell to the Whisky entrance point, there is our synchrotron in the way.

We have 100MeV!!

After delays, complication, problems, and whatever you can imagine... Yesterday, around 10 in the evening the beam at the end of the linac reach the energy of the electron gun was designed for.

It was a really special day for all of us that are involved on this process. It's a really exciting moment! But it's not the end, now we have to transport this beam in the transferline in order to put it into the booster ring.
