Is it just alphabetical at that point, or is Aad both special and alphabetically advantaged?

(If I want to go into physics, should I first change my name to Aaalweachter?)

Evidently ATLAS listed its members alphabetically and CMS listed them by some other criterion (maybe seniority?). However, I would guess that ATLAS got its member list first in the paper by being the alphabetically prior of the two collaborations (!).

So, that suggests that you should not only change your name to Aaalweachter, but also be sure to work on the AARDVARK research collaboration. (Or found one if it doesn't already exist.)

Hi, member of CMS collaboration here. The author list is ordered: by country name (in English), by town name, by institute name, by author name, by author first name. So, as of this writing, the list starts with authors from Armenia.

It's amazing to have someone just drop by on HN with appropriate expertise to clarify this. Thanks!

So I understand that you (aka Aaron Schoen Aaltweacher) are now working on AARDVARK in Alaverdi, Armenia.
