Published, and Didn't Know It
August 22, 2008
A little bit bored, I went looking for any web links to my short-term life in physics, for inclusion in a tech post on web server configuration for dummies. I didn't find what I was looking for — the University of Texas finally took down my old website — but I did discovered that I've been published. And no one bothered to tell me.
In fact, there are two articles for which I am co-author, published in an obscure but peer-reviewed journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors, and Associated Equipment. That's rather a mouthful, isn't it?
I distinctly recall collaborating on these papers as a grad student, primarily in doing data analysis. We were part of a collaboration that included hundreds of scientists, and I thought the papers were never going beyond that group (NuMI/MINOS). Seems two of them did:
