<SnoopJeDi> so uh, apparently some people at Fermilab have been cooling Nb SRF cavities down to 11 mK o.O
<SnoopJeDi> even weirder: cavity Q goes *up* with increasing temperature at extremely low temps.
<SnoopJeDi> (until you hit conventional temps > 1 K and then the regular relationship comes back)
<SnoopJeDi> Hopefully the work they're doing at ultracold temperatures will shed more light on exactly what the hell is going on in niobium, though. An actual microphysics theory of SRF would be Super Duper Useful™
<SnoopJeDi> rather than the conventional "iunno something something flux vortices?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

<bofh> wtf Mars InSight is launching from Vandenberg AFB?!?

<egg|phone|egg> Snoop: the charged particles thing?
<SnoopJeDi> yea
<egg|phone|egg> UmbralRaptor: Jupiter very sharp now though
<SnoopJeDi> it was by the software company I've collaborated with, one of their ongoing projects is adding some symplectic integration to a tracking code that handles spin-polarization
<SnoopJeDi> which is very in-vogue right now because of the push for a polarized electron-ion collider (both JLEIC and eRHIC would have to maintain very high beam polarization in arbitrary patterns)
