Check out this popular-level article about neutrino cosmology in the era of @desisurvey by @emcconover (@ScienceNews). It's a great overview that also touches on some of the work I have been doing with Nathaniel Craig, Surjeet Rajendran, and Joel Meyers sciencenews.org/article/neutri…

US HEP folks! Interested in working on a future @MuonCollider? Now's your chance! Come to the inaugural US Muon Collider Meeting and find some cool open tasks to get involved in! *Registration deadline Wednesday!* indico.fnal.gov/e/usmc2024/

Colloquia at the Aspen Center for Physics are designed to inform the participants about developments in other subfields of physics (pictured: Prof. Clifford Johnson from the U of Kentucky discusses black holes).

Nathaniel Craig @physics_nate (@ucsantabarbara) surveys the central questions of modern particle physics and the prospects for answering them with a muon collider. Watch the latest Friends of #KITP Chalk Talk and learn more about the rich physics of muons youtu.be/U8jkBsrcK0U

New paper tonight with some old friends: we explore the implications of the DESI neutrino mass measurement. When we extend neutrino mass to allow for negative values, we find a 3 sigma exclusion of the minimum sum, 58 meV (posterior below) arxiv.org/abs/2405.00836

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider: symmetrymagazine.org/article/this-i…

An accelerator known as a muon collider could revolutionize particle physics—if it can be built. Read that story and more this week in Science: scim.ag/6or

@tovaholmes Congratulations!

So honored to be a part of this cohort! Can't wait to meet everyone (and say hi to those I already know!)

Wow. Opening paragraph of NYT article on P5 report centers on a muon collider: "Particle physicists should begin laying the groundwork for a revolutionary particle collider that could be built on American soil, a committee of scientists wrote..." nytimes.com/2023/12/07/sci…

@DavidMarzocca This was from my after-dinner talk opposite Matthew McCullough at Beyond BSM at the end of the summer.

@physics_nate Where is this slide from? Of course, "this decade" in this case should be "these decades" :)

"We choose to build the muon collider in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard," [JFK]

Personal #p5report mood this morning: youtube.com/watch?v=SSbBvK…

Muon Shot! #P5report

Holy forking shirtballs, what an amazing #P5Report. This is our #MuonShot.

Time to shoot for the muon! redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Shoo…

THIS. IS. OUR. MUON. SHOT!

LETS FUCKING COLLIDE MUONS

@DrAndreDavid @dangaristo Which is why the ask is for R&D to determine whether it’s attainable.

@dangaristo @physics_nate Unfortunately, enthusiasm may not be enough to cool the muons to the required levels. This is also true of superconductor technology for other future proposals.

One of the most interesting developments in particle physics over the past few years is the enthusiasm—and boy is there enthusiasm—around a potential muon collider, especially given that its prospects seemed over a decade ago. scientificamerican.com/article/partic…

Science contrarian bingo.
