Experimental HEP Seminar

Life after HEP

Pat Saull

NRC

The Institute for National Measurement Standards (INMS) at NRC is perhaps best known for its time signal broadcast at noon by the CBC. Another INMS group, Ionizing Radiation Standards (IRS), is responsible for establishing radiation standards, so that you get the right dose when you undergo X-ray imaging. Similar standards for gamma-ray, beta-ray, and neutron dose are maintained at IRS. These things are a far cry from the work the speaker carried out as a McGill HEP student in the fields of beauty and tau physics while a member of the ARGUS collaboration, and diffractive scattering physics as a post doc on ZEUS. Or are they? Primarily targeted at HEP students and post docs, this talk will focus on how the university experience can prepare you for “life after HEP”.
