No Penetrating Particles for the AGU meeting


I'm frustrated.

Woke up late this morning, at 9:45 AM. Really tired last night, so I needed to sleep in quite a bit.

Walked with my computer backpack full to the Morial Convention Center, a few blocks away. How hot and humid can this city be? I should have packed a few more shirts.

Met Dick outside the poster and registration hall, but then Paulette L. needed to talk to him, so I went in to pick up my registration materials. Soon afterward, Dick and I sat at a table and looked through the current state of my penetrating particles analysis. After fiddling with the Fe points, we came to the conclusion that C & O need a higher "global correction factor" than Si & Fe to line up the penetrating particle fluences with the stopping particle fluences, and since we don't have time to do much further (we have to turn in our presentations at the Speaker Ready Room tomorrow), we'll have to drop the subject for now.

I'm very frustrated, but I agree with the need for further analysis.

Came back to my room after lunch to work on what's left of my talk. I'm going to try Keynote.
