Welcome to the first PH Newsletter for 2014. This is going to be an exciting year, with LS1 past its halfway point, and the injector chain starting up for physics...
The AEgIS experiment (Antimatter Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) at CERN is designed to examine the effects of gravity on antimatter.
From January 2014, the Education Group has moved from the PH Department to the Stakeholder Relations Office that will manage and sustain CERN's relationship with key audiences
Independent of the choice of CERN's next high energy collider, the challenges of designing an FCC detector mirror some of those already under consideration for CLIC.
The CERN PCB workshop, previously part of TE, has become since January 2014 a facility of the PH department. The workshop is playing in particular a key role in the development of components for micro-pattern gas detectors (MPGD) and MPGD assembly techniques.

The recently formed RD53 collaboration will address the challenges of phase 2 pixel detector upgrades of ATLAS and CMS as well as long-term challenges for LCD.
The history of microelectronics at CERN, initiated thanks to the LAA project, provides important lessons as we are now starting to exploit new science and new technologies
