Hi, in an outreach project we are currently developing teaching material on particle physics, which will be made available to teachers, free of charge, online and printed versions (see website, in German 🙁 ). For the chapter on the BEH field we would like to reprint your “Mexican hat + nail” figure from http://quantum-bits.org/?p=233. So I am asking for permission to reprint the figure and the requested conditions (e.g. Copyright: Frédéric Bellaiche).
Thank you very much,
Uta
Dear Dr. Bellaiche,
I am writing a book for grneral public concerning cosmology. I found your description of interactions in https://www.quantum-bits.org/?p=2772 very interesting. May I use your figure?
Best regards,
antonino del popolo
Hi Antonino. Sorry for being late to answer. Yes, of course, you can use this figure as you like.
Best regards
Dear Fred Bellaiche,
I would like to include two of your pictures, which were used in the German book “Teilchenphysik. Ladungen, Wechselwirkungen und Teilchen” (mentioned above by Uta Bilow), published by ‘Netzwerk Teilchenwelt’ and the ‘Joachim Herz Stiftung’, in my master thesis. My thesis addresses students and teachers and the book where your pictures are published to which I refer is also for teachers. So it would be very nice and useful. In case you (and the book’s authors, which I ask separately) agree, I would like to take the German version from the book.
Thanks in advance
Yours sincerely
Lea Debus
Dear Mr. Bellaiche,
a few days ago I wrote a message here, but I think my message got lost. So I will try again:
I really like your Higgs-potential diagrams. They were published in the German book >>Teilchenphysik. Ladungen, Wechselwirkungen und Teilchen<>Joachim Herz Stiftung<>Netzwerk Teilchenwelt<< which can be found here: https://www.teilchenwelt.de/material/materialien-fuer-lehrkraefte/unterrichtsmaterial-teilchenphysik/ (unfortunately in German). In my master thesis I work out a way to understand the Higgs-mechanism with school knowledge. For this it would be very nice and useful, if I could use your pictures of the Higgs potential (and the comparison to the nail).
With best regards,
Lea Debus
Yes, please go ahead, use these diagrams as you wish !
Best regards,
Frédéric
Thank you very much! 🙂
Frédéric, I found very useful one of your images in “What’s this Higgs boson anyway ?”. May I use it for my final project of my degree? I will cite your page
Sincerly,
Abel
Yes of course, go ahead !
Fred
Dear Fred,
I am writing a book about neutrinos and I would love to use the image of the “Mexican Hat” potential that appears on your page: http://quantum-bits.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/higgs-hat.png . Do you “own” it? How I could get permission to use it? Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Alan
Yes of course, please go ahead !
Hello, merci d’avoir mis des liens vers mes vidéo !
ton blog est super sympa.
à bientot
Merci à toi (et tes excellentes vidéos !)
