What a svelte beamline you have there.

Don't generate too many black holes, okay?
bogsbonny
Don’t fuck up!
NickyNipples
Don’t cross the beams!

félicitation a bababoulinet

Merci :D

Put ur dick in it

Accelerate them particles, son
firstnationhombre
Yeah. Can it do 60?
pyrrhlis
Definitely. But when it hits 88...
BobarinoTheBobcat
It continues to hundreds Avenue thousands more.
Thecakeisanasshole
...you're going to see some serious shit.

Do you have the paper clips?
Myth0l0gical
Don't go creating a black hole, now.

Inventory must be a bitch! “No one’s leaving until we find those three missing electrons, people.” Anyway, science on!
yeahitis
Read that as “particular”. I was all, “cool, I wonder which one”...

Have they got you loading up the proton gun with tweezers?

Congrats!

My dream job is selling flowers made of glass to a teacher I vaguely remember as I'm continually falling off a cliff. I have weird dreams.

You mean the LHC or is their more than one
soromon
The big blue one.
bababoulinet
The LHC is a synchrotron. This one is smaller and is linear

@OP Is that a tandem Van-der-Graaf accelerator? We have one too. Where is yours located? I thought they were dying out.

ARUNA is the U.S.A organization that supervises universities that have them such as FSU, ND, UK, and WU
bababoulinet
In France at the Orsay university. There is at least four of them here. I work at the IPN
forsale90
Ours is at TU Munich. I have a collegue who went to Orsay to get some NTD for a Neganov-Luke light detector (if I remember correctly).

Why to physicists and school always have that horrible shade of Green painted everywhere?
eroso
Green is the least straining color for ur eyes.
Skyhawk320
So you know you're in a physics area?
DaneBrass
Less color fading, generally more calming, and during the post-war era it was a color that didn't use toxic chemicals to get the pigment.
Ironbunny
Thank you for a real answer. I've been wondering wtf the reason was
countbassy
Worked in numerous power plants. Everything is painted that same green
zsefvgb
Many Mid century Mills and lathes have the same green. Less eye strain I believe and easier to focus on other stuff
BavarianGuy
What are the qualifications someone has to have to replace you should something happen to you? On an unrelated note, do you have allergies?
Rukender
I know OP, he's really allergic to cheese. Feed him raclette and he dies
bababoulinet
Oh noooo not the raclette !
BavarianGuy
Hmmmm raclette: https://media.giphy.com/media/NAeYlMHeMS5eU/giphy.mp4

Genuine question. Always wondered how smart do you have to be to work at CERN ?
SoooooOriginal
CERN has janitors too.
bababoulinet
It’s the CNRS and I just study for two years
RancidRance
From all the nerdy jokes I saw stuck to office doors and on walls, you have to be a massive nerd.

Explodes and gives people the power to fuck the timeline.
ashmenon
They accelerate particles.
BrockAppDancer
Searching for ways to enter the next dimension.
Bunsen
They fling particles (electrons, protons, sometimes whole nuclei) at each other so you can see what's going on inside things that normally..
Bunsen
just sit there. It's a bit like reverse engineering a pocket watch by throwing watches at walls and seeing which way the springs bounce.
ProcrastinatingWork
Awesome! I'm stealing that metaphor. Thank you.
Bunsen
I'm pretty sure I stole it from some book I read years ago.

was it "the particle at the end of the universe" by chance? I think the quote rings a bell

Does it do "ZAP!" Noises?
bababoulinet
It does "brrrrrrrrrrrrr"
usernamesarewack
SLAC?
TheGreyKnightsBANNED
Does... Does it.... Does it go BRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTT
Katguin
The 'brrrrrr' is good but does it also go 'beep beep' ?
countbassy
I heard a gonk
AnthonyBlumpkins
Only when backing up
thisnamewasstillavailable
The bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps?
Bunsen
That's not all he's lost.
bababoulinet
No beep beep :( But sometimes it goes "clak !" And it means it’s note good
Katguin
Ah shucks! But congratz to the really cool job OP!! Nerdy me would love some work stories :)
bababoulinet
I just work two day so far... but there’s plenty of things to do :)
RevanTheJedi
Oooh, science!
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
What does it mean if goes clak?
AnthonyBlumpkins
It means it's note good
ashmenon
It means we accidentally created the God Particle and he's pissed and we can't CTRL Z it.
everythingisnominal
more useless data for the physicist and some nightmares for the engineer :D
ticktockbent
is bad times, world go florp
bababoulinet
It mean there is to many power and there is a lightning in the accelerator
