I'm a graduate student in Experimental Particle Physics at The University of California, Berkeley. I originally intended to write only about stuff I have direct personal experience with or know a lot about, for example the ATLAS experiment, of which I am a member. This has been expanded slightly with occasional edits in other areas; I have also defined myself to know "a lot" about most areas of particle physics that don't need highly-quantitative explanations, which obviously depends on your point of reference.
Projects
Articles I plan to create
- Stanford Linear Collider
- Upsilon meson
- Oops-Leon
- John David Jackson / J. David Jackson
- Eugene Commins
- Supernova Cosmology Project
- Bevatron
Articles I intend to make changes to
- Black hole electron (more research to do first)
- Particle radiation - no idea what it should look like, but it could be useful and right now it isn't.
- Saul Perlmutter - expand
- Muon - magnetic moment and its implications for the standard model
- Pair production - generalize
Categories I am working on
Stubs I've created and plan to expand
Most of these are already pretty damn useful, but I do plan to expand them someday:
- Up quark
- Down quark
- Strange quark
- Charm quark
- Bottom quark
- Top quark
- Particle identification
- Particle jet
- Event reconstruction
- Beam crossing
- Event (particle physics)
- Lund string model
- Radiative process
Substantial contributions
A selected chronological list of articles I contributed to and am proud of:
- A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS
- B-tagging
- Template:Elementary
- Kaon
- List of mesons
- List of baryons
- Template:Composite
- Timeline of particle discoveries
- Three jet event

For my amusement
John Rocque's maps of London were published in 1746. A French-born British surveyor and cartographer, John Rocque produced two maps of London and the surrounding area. The better known of these, depicted here, is a 24-sheet map of the City of London and the surrounding area, surveyed by Rocque and engraved by John Pine and titled A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark. Rocque combined two surveying techniques: he made a ground-level survey with a compass and a physical metal chain – the unit of length also being the chain. Compass bearings were taken of the lines measured. He also created a triangulation network over the entire area to be covered by taking readings from church towers and similar high places using a theodolite made by Jonathan Sisson (the inventor of the telescopic-sighted theodolite) to measure the observed angle between two other prominent locations. The process was repeated from point to point. This image depicts all 24 sheets of Rocque's map.Map credit: John Rocque and John Pine
