These Presentations are both popular talks and physics ones
NOTE: If you use slides, strictly for educational purposes, this is OK. But I want to know about it. Further, if you modify them, I'd like to see the modifications. I'm always willing to steal good material....
Physics Talks:
- Photon 2003 Recent Run II QCD results from D0 (4.5 MB, PPT)
- Jet Workshop December 2002 Ruminations on the physics of generations. Very light on results, mostly outlining to the group the thrust of the effort. (1 MB, PPT)
- LaThuile 2002 Run I QCD recent results overview for both CDF and D0. Contains CDF Run 1B Inclusive Jet, CDF alpha-s determination and several D0 kt jet algorithm analyses. Twenty minute talk (1 MB, PPT)
Popular Talks:
- Understanding the Universe: From Quarks to the Cosmos Talk given to the Chicago Mensa group. This talk is very low level and spends a lot of time talking about the nature of science itself. It tries to set up the historical search for the most fundamental aspect of reality. It justifies reductionist science. Designed to exploit some PowerPoint animation. Given 22-Jan-2005. (9 MBytes,PPT).
- High School Math at the Research Frontier Talk given to the Joliet High School Mu Alpha Theta math honorary. It gives an introduction to the method of chi-square fitting to a line. Designed to exploit some PowerPoint animation. Given 06-May-2004. (4.7 MBytes,PPT).
- General Overview of Fermilab Physics #2 General overview of Fermilab physics, aimed at a popular audience, but with minor modifications can be given to school kids. This is similar to the one below, but different, as it really is designed to exploit some PowerPoint animation. Given 03-August-2003. (6.9 MBytes,PPT).
- General Overview of Fermilab Physics General overview of Fermilab physics, aimed at a popular audience, but with minor modifications can be given to school kids. Given various times. (14 MBytes,PPT).
- Neutrinos: Ghosts of the Universe A talk given to the Chicago Section of the AAPT. Intended audience, HS teachers and non HEP faculty. Is designed to be projected using a laptop and projector. It is designed to fill 45 minutes. Covers neutrinos from discovery through recent oscillation results. Given Apr 13, 2002 (4.6 MBytes,PPT).
- When a Proton Meets an Anti-Proton A talk given to the Fermilab summer undergraduates. Intended audience, sophomore physics majors and junior/senior other science majors. This talk is a generic collider physics talk. It is designed to be projected using a laptop and projector, but will work without. Given Jul 24, 2001. (8 MBytes,PPT).
- Recreating the Universe, 3,000,000 Times a Second A talk which mixes cosmology and HEP. Like "Young and Hot", but more complete. Has PowerPoint animation and is designed to be projected using a laptop and projector. Given Mar 9, 2001.
(12 MBytes,PPT).
- When the Universe was Young and Hot (3.5 MBytes,PPT) This talk shows some of the links between experimental high energy physics and cosmology. It addresses the 'Why do you do this?' question.
- Mensa Talk (228 kBytes,PPT) Contains a lot of slides which I used to segue between FermiLab public affairs slides. Contains a couple of nice slides which details principles of acceleration and the order of magnitude of difficulty of the top quark discovery problem.
- Different Levels of Approximation in QCD (110 kBytes,PPT) Part of a talk given at Louisiana Tech. Most important slides shows the simplest approximation to quark scattering, with eventual evolution to the more realistic and nastier problem.
