A quick post to advertise a new preprint my collaborators and I put on the arXiv today. It is called “Local Baryon Number at the LHC” and is by me, Joe – one of my PhD students, or Doctoral Researchers, as they are now officially called at UCL – and Pavel and Hridoy, two theory collaborators I’ve enjoyed working before1, from Case Western Reserve2 University. I will explain briefly what we have been doing.
Ok, two of these posts in a row but it’s the holidays…
Sbagliato is a Negroni when you put sparking wine (in this case Blanquette de Limoux, see below) instead of gin. Sbagliato is Italian for “wrong”, but feels right at the mo.
The Jalisco Flower is tequila, elderflower, pink grapefruit and Blanquette again. Tastes nice, although I’m drinking the short red one myself.
Blanquette de Limoux is special because Susanna and I ordered a glass each by mistake when camping in rural Limoux sometime in the 90s, when we had very limited funds. We therefore had no dinner, but a good time anyway.
There was also a Twinkle1 earlier, but it went before I got a picture. Probably for the best.
There is actual physics going on my life but right now there is also this. Gin, crème de violette, red vermouth, orange & angostura bitters. Yum.
I’d would say it counts as a variation on the negroni, and you might say “What’s the point in varying perfection”. But it’s a good one, worth a try IMO.
As I am sure everyone is well aware by now, UCL won a share of an enormous prize yesterday1. After half a century of valiant defeat and occasional failure to turn up, football really is coming home. We won the annual Bubble Chamber Football tournament (with a bit of help from some nuclear physics colleagues from Surrey and Liverpool).
