Hello! Welcome to plackett.com, my home page.

Personal home pages are rather out of fashion at the moment with blogs, facebook, twitter and so on but an update to this one was overdue. You find us Back in the UK and I'm working in Oxford doing detector development for Particle Physics.

As a rough guide to this site things to do with physics are listed under professional and things to do with my other activities are listed under personal. This said I am trying to keep things a bit more current on the site so there has been some trimming and there are some empty spaces where really out of date things haven't been replaced.

If you don't know me and have made it here by accident, I'm a physicist working at Oxford: am I the right Richard???
