In spring 1997 I have joined the Nuclear Physics A group here at the Department of Physics of the University of Edinburgh.
So far I've involved in experiments at:
A first write-up on the Edinburgh Germanium Telescope, a development I have been busy with for quite a while now.
A halo nuclei experiment, something which can be cleanly done using tagged photons.
Some photos of TAPS experiments which are running in Mainz.
Physikalisches Institut

Doktorarbeit (Doctor Thesis):
abstract,
full thesis,
PhD thesis in A5 paper size (browsable in Ghostview, local copy)
experiments+setup,
the DCX experiments
and photos
from the Paul Scherrer Institut
some private items:
a few photos
taken just after my PhD exam
Having heard of the timing anomaly seen in the KARMEN experiment, I was initiating an experiment at PSI to search for such a hypothetical heavy neutrino in 1995, during my PhD time.
Additional motivation has emerged in the meantime, and there are a few photos of the MUEX experiment performed in July 1999 at PSI to look for a hypothetical binary decay branch of the muon.
Below are links to papers from our searches for a possible massive particle which could explain the timing anomaly seen in the KARMEN experiment.

a number of photos from rehearsal, concert and afterwards
My photo gallery holds pictures from places where I have travelled to and was lucky enough to have my vintage digital camera with me. You will also find the odd scanned photo there.
With my significant intererest in music I though why not gathering bits and pieces of music, especially a capella music I happened to have recorded on a sound gallery. I mostly started this before mp3 came around, so you find AIFF, AU and WAV files there which do not reflect the full quality of the original. I know that mp3 would give about the same file sizes while conserving the original quality.
And I started a page on a capella music with links to the odd web pages I've written on music groups. I had been singing for a couple of years in the Vocaholics, a 'men only' a capella pop group in Tübingen. They (we) are quite special in concert. Then there is the Junger Süddeutscher Kammerchor, Berhard Epstein's ongoing effort for a high quality chamber choir. It is really worth listening to them in concert.
Then there are a few half-started pages like travelling by train, remarks on a bridge or ßßß - capital ß where I think I spent too much effort as to simply discart them.
A photo page about the volcanos of Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens in the Cascades.
More recently I have created two more pages. The first is about the Kochertalbahn in the southwest of Germany, a disused railway nowadays but which did have and also might have in future a reasonable potential both for passenger and freight traffic. The second, now actually a collection of pages, is about the funicular in Künzelsau, which started operation in October 1999. The pages are in german, english and french language.
