    I have a #serial #terminal like the ones used in the #fallout #television #show. One of the plastic #monitor tube mounting posts is broken and it did not turn on but might just be a fuse. Been sitting in the attic for a long time. I salvaged it from the university of #minnesota #CosmicRay lab when they shut it down 35 years ago. It was used to #bootstrap a #PDP-11 #computer by typing in several lines of assembly to bring up the main #OperatingSystem. I'll see if I can get it working again or may be repurpose/retrofit it as a modern computer monitor. They offered me the PDP-11 at the time also but it was too big for me to retain.

  3. The most powerful cosmic ray since the Oh-My-God particle puzzles scientists

    Scientists spot a particle of intense energy, but explaining where it came from might require some new physics.

  4. #CMSPaper 1205: Some particle collisions look like they make particles but can also be seen as relatively incohesive blobs of #particles like #quarks and #gluons. These effective particles are referred to as #pomerons.

    This paper is the first time pomerons are measured in lead-proton collisions! These results show the theory calculations of these are pretty bad, so the data will also help in modeling #cosmicray air showers.
