The first term and a half of an HEP PhD is spent learning all of the basics needed to join a collaboration without looking like an idiot. The lectures have been winding down since Christmas, but there are still problem sheets to do...
I've been going to an interesting course taught by the theory group on Super Symmetry (SUSY), a well loved but unproven extension to the Standard Model. I'd be surprised if SUSY was actually correct, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because it just seems too easy! That said, I've been enjoying the course. It is a great refresher for some other stuff I've been learning, and made me think quiet a lot on my way home on Friday.
Anyway, enough Physics for now. It's time to go home...
