Conference Proceedings which I have written

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

• At the April, 2002 APS meeting in Albuquerque, I gave this invited talk (pdf only, sorry) at a session on neutrino oscillations. It was a half hour talk designed to cover all of the ersults from both Super-K and K2K, with some time also taken up by the description of the current detector status.
• In early 2002, I did a circuit of talks with the same result as shown at the NOON conference, some with more detail, but some more general. Here is a sample version that I gave as a particle physics seminar at particle physics seminar at Michigan State University. (See if you can find the mistake on my cover slide.) Later I gave the talk as a physics department colloquium, meaning that it was targetted at an audience of physicists and physics students, but not necessarily specialists in particle physics. The last few slides in that file are things that are not part of the talk proper, but held in reserve to answer common questions. Here is yet another version made for presenting to undergraduates at California State University at Dominguez Hills.
• 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) (local copy in pdf) 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.

Some projects in my research

Links related to physics or of use to physicists

• I used to have a bunch of physics related links here, but I have put them into their own file as a mini list.
• American Universities, a list of --you guessed it!-- American Universities
• Universities throughout the world, more of the same.
