'Non, je ne serai jamais Charlie' : anti-Muslim racism, transnational translation, and left anti-racisms

In the aftermath of the attack that killed 12 people at the offices of the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, there was a demand to identify with the slain victims in the name of freedom of speech by marching under the banner ‘Je Suis Charlie’.

This chapter interrogates the call to contextualize the purportedly particularist nature of France’s relationship to satire and secularism (laicité)

Apparatus for measurement of the electric dipole moment of the neutron using a cohabiting atomic-mercury magnetometer

A description is presented of apparatus used to carry out an experimental search for an electric dipole moment of the neutron, at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble. The experiment incorporated a cohabiting atomic-mercury magnetometer in order to reduce spurious signals from magnetic field fluctuations. The result has been published in an earlier letter; here, the methods and equipment used are discussed in detail
