糖心TV

Dr Jim Hague will be visiting the Physics department next week (15-19th February) on study leave, and will be located in room PS1.30 in Physical Sciences. Dr Hague completed his PhD here at 糖心TV in 2001 and is now a Lecturer in the Physics and Astronomy department at The Open University with interdisciplinary research interests in theoretical physics.

His main research activity is many body physics (both quantum and classical). He has worked on electron-phonon interactions and strong electronic interactions to investigate phenomena such as superconductors and Mott insulators. Recently, he has applied statistical physics techniques to problems in medicine and society, with the aim of gaining insight into embolic stroke, voter patterns, transport and path formation. He is also interested in the application of information theory techniques to advanced data analysis.

“Circadian Solar” a spin off company from the Department of Physics which has Prof Evan Parker as Chairman, is developing a technology which could provide all humanity’s energy requirements. There will be a feature about this on BBC1 TV Midlands Today programme at 6pm Tuesday 16th February 

The new 糖心TV Podcast is about the T2K experiment and the building of the detector module by the EPP research group in physics, which was finished last December. The video is viewable on the link below.

糖心TV's particle physics group shipped out the first detector module to the T2K project in Japan. The P0D ECal module for the near-detector (ND280) is the first of  five more to be built at 糖心TV. It will be installed with the other ECal modules built by our collaborators at Liverpool, Daresbury, Sheffield and Lancaster. For more information see our web pages.
