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.
|
|
How does it hold together? |
|
|
Why is the universe like it is? |
|
|
Why is there more matter than anti-matter? |
|
|
What is the Theory of Everything? |
|
|
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.

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