I feel like this question is like asking a hexagon if it's a circle or a square.

Let me summon the annoying physicist take on this by Sabine:

I assume it's ultimately in good humour but some of the things she does seem quite "out" for a physicist e.g. the annoying physicist things looks like position yourself towards outsiders.

I'm still a mere trainee so I'm basically neutral on her opinion of HEP and Accelerators, but I know enough that it looks a little weird for an academic.


I dig her style, but don't subscribe to all her views either.

I linked this part in the video because it points out that it's quite common to try to categorize things in one box or another while it should really be given a new box even if that box contains one item only.
