I have ripped out a bunch of old physics material I had here and some outdated biographical information and put them in a file of older material from when I wrote the page a couple years ago.
Most of this page is really old stuff. I have not paid much attention to it lately, but have made some pages for one of my more recent work `hardware' projects. It's not complete yet, but the information there exceeds the form. Other, even more recent work projects are not yet ready for posting. On a totally separate note, I also made some notes to post for various friends about my wedding (Sept., 1998) and our experience getting a US immigrant visa for my wife.

Recent (and some not-so-recent) seminars in easily accessible form.

• The NOON,2001 (Neutrino Oscillations and their OrigiNs) workshop in Kashiwa was the site of my first talk after our latest K2K data update. Here is a copy of the slides shown in (gzipped) PostScript or in Portable Document Format. The same figures are together with some explainatory text in this HTML version. A formal written version for the proceedings will follow some time later. This presentation is based on analysis of data through July, 2001.
• At the Snowmass, 2001 conference in Colorado, I was lucky enough to be the first K2K talk at a big conference since we finalized analysis of our newest data. Here is the talk. I have added some answers to questions after the conference. There are postscript and pdf files linked from the first page, as well as a link to the postscript for each individual slide below its appearance in the document. This presentation is based on analysis of data through May, 2001.
  Here is the proceedings in PostScript, in pdf, and finally in compressed (gzip) PostScript.
• For an interview at Oxford in June, 2001, I gave one short seminar similar to the one below, and one ten minute presentation to introduce my research to undergraduates.
• At ICRR in late March, 2001, I was invited to give a seminar on the K2K beam modelling. (That is an html version. A printable version of the images is also available, but there is more information in text attached to the html version.)
• The talk from the NOW, 2000 workshop (linked below this) evolved through a series of job interviews this past winter and seminars interspersed with them. The most recent was a FNAL `Wine and Cheese seminar'. Some versions were colloquia and some seminars for audiences of varying degrees of expertise; the time constraints also varied somewhat. I have prepared a web presentation of the logical union of these talks. I have attempted to keep it up to date on K2K analysis and some views of other experiments as of mid-March 2001.
• I attended the NOW 2000 (Neutrino Oscillation Workshop) in Italy. I gave a 35 minute plenary talk on Long-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments which concentrated mainly on K2K results, but reviewed other projects elsewhere as well.
• Overlapping with the beginning of that, Fermilab held a second of the workshop series started last year at KEK on Neutrino Beams and Instrumentation. I attended only part of it, but gave two talks there. The main one was Modeling of a Neutrino Beam, (local copy available) and the second was a detailed description of one specific monitor aparatus.
• At the American Physical Society's DPF 2000 meeting in Columbus Ohio, I gave this talk (gzipped PostScript, 1MB) in one of the parallel sessions on neutrino physics. It is a rather detailed (albeit short) talk on details of beam monitoring and modeling. Here is the proceedings contribution corresponding to that talk. Three pages is not enough room to say much. It may be a little too sparse to get real information from unless you saw the talk or know a lot about the specific topic. (The conference organizers asked all speakers to upload their talks, so this and other talks presented there are available from their site.)
• I attended the Dark2000 conference in Heidelberg, Germany, and gave a talk on results at the Super-Kamiokande detector. Here is the proceedings write-up that I did for it. If I get a chance, I will collate some of the slides into a web presentation.
• I have written a general seminar on my work at the K2K experiment in Japan (HTML, but many large images make it a bit slow to load) aimed at college undergratuate students. This was delivered in February, 2000, and includes only information known at that time.

Me:

Yes, that really was my moustache!
I cut it off (several times). My wife doesn't like it so I will probably leave it off this time.

Links to some things I think are interesting:

• I used to have a bunch of physics related links here, but I have put them into their own file as a mini list.

  ---

• Something other than science: The Elements of Style, the authoritative book on writing forms and formats. (--It is, however, useful for scientists.)
• American Universities, a list of --you guessed it!-- American Universities
• Universities throughout the world, more of the same.

  ---

• Some neat links to cultural type shtuff. These could easily also occupy a separate file, but I think it's good to show off that I do in fact think occasionally about something other than work.
  • Search index for American folk songs; gives words and sometimes playable tunes (in funny midi tones). The songs in this index are "currently unavailable because many of them are of unknown copyright status." I am keeping the link alive in hopes that it will be cured soon, although it has been a few years already....
  • General Gaelic music home page. Some nifty links. See especially the one inauspiciously labelled just "Tunes".
  • Harmonica lessons on the web!
  • The USA CityLink Project Someone is actually trying to get America into the information age. I was disappointed that Albany's (my home town) is rather blase. Similar things for Indian cities have lovely gif files of fantastic architecture and sometimes those "clickable maps." Why isn't the state education building, or the capitol, or some museum exhibits here?
  • --and look at this! A real gem of American culture (I'm serious!):
    The Dr. Seuss home page

  ---

• Other random stuff. This includes some things I use a lot, some new things I've just tried, and all manner of genera. It is not well organized.

  ---

• My life and my wife I got married in August, 1998 and have some notes and comments on that. This is also part of my more general personal information update.
