Yesterday, the annual meeting of the German committee for hadrons and nuclear physics started. There will be reports on all major related experiments Germany is involved in and what the plans for the future are.

On Nov. 26, I will give my inaugural lecture at the @jlugiessen.bsky.social on the topic of how to calculate exotic hadrons with functional methods.

We extended functional calculations of mesons up to J=5. In the channels, for which the employed rainbow-ladder setup is known to work well, we observe Regge trajectories. We find that the "potentials" corresponding to the used interactions contain linear rising sections.

Spectra of light and heavy mesons with $J \le 5$ in a relativistic Bethe-Salpeter approach
We extend the range of application of the relativistic Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter approach from previously discussed mesons with total angular momentum $J \le 3$ to the ones with $J=4,5$. On a tec...

Submitted my contribution to the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Particle Physics to arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2510.18960
I hope this "Beginner's guide to functional methods" will be helpful to many starting in the field and provide useful information to those just wanting to see what funMethods are about.

A beginner's guide to functional methods in particle physics

Last week was also when Jonas Wessely started his new job here in Giessen. He will work in my DFG grant on resonances in QCD using functional methods. Welcome, Jonas!

Last week, we kicked off the autumn season with a one-day group meeting. Reports on progress and future plans on the agenda, but also talks by former students about their experiences in industry: finance, consulting, entrepreneurship, programming, medical sector.

After a very interesting BESIII meeting where I got some insight into how experimental collaborations work, I could take a quick tour through Münster. A very charming city with many houses that look old and original, though I learned many of them were rebuilt like that after WWII.

Off to the BESIII Europe meeting to discuss the search for glueballs. Many promising recent results from BESIII on this. How can theory help? Are there any more interesting analyses to be expected?

This week in Oberwölz, organizing the workshop 'Real-Time and Non-Equilibrium Quantum Field Theory' funded, among others, by the Heraeus foundation. Great talks, great views!

Summer term is over. Is it? No, just lectures. There are still exams to write. Hope the students prepare well. This time, I have to oversee a combined exam on electrodynamics and thermodynamics 💡🌡️. 3 hours of fun with fields and state variables.

Workshop going on. Interesting talks and many discussions, both moderated in plenum and spontaneously in small groups.

On my way to Trento for a workshop on QCD in Euclidean and Minkowski space-time.
Fun fact: There was a bug (?) in the google weather forecast lowering the predicted temperature to sub 10°C. Around Trento, weather is fine, other forecasts are also ok.

Skype will retire in May 2025. I used it since my early days as a student and have built a network of contacts. As of now, I am not sure how to replace it. What recommendable Skype alternatives are there? MS suggests Teams, but that program stayed behind my expectations up to now.
