Hans Peter Beck

“Besides his outstanding contributions to particle physics, Peter was a very special person, an immensely inspiring figure for physicists across the world, a man of rare modesty, a great teacher and someone who explained physics in a very simple and yet profound way. (1/2)

@suter_gabriela @cwasi Wer mit Wind und Sonne Energie erzeugen will, sollte sich auch um die Energiebilanz der jeweiligen Technologien kümmern. EROI steht für "Energy Return of Invested (Energy)". Einzig Wasserkraft und Kernenergie kommen als fossilfreie Technologien in Frage. doi.org/10.1016/j.ener…

Lieber @cwasi, du bebilderst deinen Energietweet mit einer äusserst ineffizienten und aus diesem Grund seit 2009 zu Recht verbotenen Glühbirne. Was willst du damit ausdrücken? Dass du gegen #Energieeffizienz bist und ewiggestrigen Scheinlösungen (AKW) nachtrauerst? #Energiewende

Solar panels destroyed by hail storm in Nebraska. Counting on the sun & wind to power modern society is equivalent to praying to the weather gods. cowboystatedaily.com/2023/06/27/bas…

Did you know that .. Existing waste from the operation of conventional nuclear power plants could even be used as fuel ? Learn more about the Transumex project and about the engagement of the community for a more sustainable future #EPPCNenvironment chipp.ch/en/activities/…

Apart from the considerable and unique contribution that it makes to science and innovation, CERN's presence on Swiss soil also brings tangible economic benefits, states the Federal Council of Switzerland: admin.ch/gov/en/start/d…

today masterclass in Bern !! @unibern @Michele30673179 @hp_beck

@CHIPP_news @unibern @Michele30673179 International masterclass in particle physics. 40 young high-school students today in Bern. You can see me entertaining them about CERN and the structure of matter and the Universe.

Neutrino oscillations show that lepton flavour violation exists. Searching for such potential beyond-the-Standard Model behaviour in Higgs-boson decays, the @ATLASexperiment has set new upper limits on the branching fractions of H → eτ and H → μτ cerncourier.com/a/testing-flav…

In short: you will be wanted!

BREAKING NEWS: The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPeacePrize to human rights advocate Ales Bialiatski from Belarus, the Russian human rights organisation Memorial and the Ukrainian human rights organisation Center for Civil Liberties. #NobelPrize

@AndreasCrivell1 I just discussed exactly this topic in my introductory lecture on particles and nuclei few days ago. Always fascinating to see how young students get flabbergasted, when they hear such things for the first time.

@hp_beck Yes, we have to be grateful that QCD is confined and we do not need to fight the strong force as well :-)

Even this is in some sense about physics: I won the fight agains earth gravity in Bad Wildbad: my3.raceresult.com/190046/RRPubli…

@Gino06004284 @LHCbExperiment Excellent! Congratulations, Gino !!

It finally arrived: my first book! But the first thought is a very sad one: I wish I had flipped through it first with Sheldon... #NPinbdecays @LHCbExperiment

A book that only few have read in detail, but still, it changed the world. A truly groundbreaking achievement. Some of the easier stuff is being tought in all grammar schools. It's a marvel and its value cannot be underestimated.

Congratulations to IPPOG Masterclass Coordinators, Uta Bilow and Kenneth Cecire, and IPPOG ATLAS Representative, Sascha Mehlhase, recipients of the @EuroPhysSoc HEPP Outreach Prize for 2021!
