My name is Alfons Weber. I am Reader in the particle physics sub-department at the University of Oxford and a senior research scientist at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. I am interested in the fundamental structure of the matter around us.

bullet How does it hold together?
bullet Why is the universe like it is?
bullet Why is there more matter than anti-matter?
bullet What is the Theory of Everything?
bullet What is the answer to the last question?

To understand these questions I have worked in different areas of particle physics and while I have found some answers (42), I haven't found all of them. This means I have to do more fun stuff to find out. Currently I am working on MINOS and the T2K Neutrino oscillation experiments.

My Experiments and Research

bullet UA1 at the CERN SppS
bullet The L3 experiment at LEP
bullet MINOS/NuMI at FNAL
bullet T2K

Some Talks I Gave

bullet The MINOS Experiment
bullet The MINOS & Opera Experiments
bullet Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Review
bullet The NOvA Experiment

Teaching

I am teaching at the University of Oxford. Some of my lectures you can find below

bullet Introduction to the Weak Interaction (html, PowerPoint)
bullet Electromagnetism for Particle Detectors (pdf, PowerPoint)
bullet How to build a Neutrino Experiment (html, PowerPoint)

I am also a stipendiary lecturer at University College. I am teaching students studying "Physics" and "Physics and Philosophy" to get their BSc or MPhys. The teaching schedule can be found here.

My Private Links

I do have a private life and sometimes I even find time to sail, ski or kite.
