CERN Accelerating science

Dear Colleagues, dear Members of the EP Department and CERN Users,

Welcome to the autumn edition of the newsletter of the EP department. The EP newsletter is meant to inform all members of the department about what is going on in EP, and to showcase some of the highlights of our work. 

New ALICE results presented at the 17th edition of the International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM) in Utrecht in July.

Summer Students 2017: looking back to a unique summer experience

by Panos Charitos, Virginia Greco

Five of this year's Students share their stories of exploring physics, finding inspiration and friendship during a summer at CERN.

Although the energy scale of New Physics might lie beyond current experiments' reach, the study of W and Z bosons and photons, through their self-interactions, can reveal hints of new physics at LHC energies and offer useful lessons for future high-energy colliders.

A possible future collider such as the ILC, CLIC or FCC-ee would enable a unique top physics program far beyond the capabilities of the HL-LHC.

Colliding photons at the LHC!

by Panos Charitos

Image result for Colliding photons at the LHCLHC is the world’s most powerful collider not only for protons and lead ions but also for photon–photon allowing physicists to study this topic. 

The ALPHA collaboration scored another coup on the antimatter front by performing the first-ever spectroscopic measurements of the internal state of the antihydrogen atom.

Baby MIND born at CERN

by Etam Noah Messomo

Prototype for Magnetised Iron Neutrino Detector (MIND) developed at CERN to measure muons produced in neutrino interactions in the WAGASCI detector, Japan.

Bring on the DUNE detectors

by Roberto Acciarri

The future of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment appears bright, as construction of the two protoDUNE detectors begins at CERN.

Superconducting Magnets for Particle Detectors

by Akira Yamamoto (LCC, KEK, CERN), Panos Charitos (FCC, CERN)

Experimental particle physics at the energy frontier has been performed with colliding beam accelerators and particle detectors. Superconducting magnets for these detectors and for physics experiments including astroparticle physics have much advanced in the past years based on the applications of superconductivity.

New LHC results presented at EPS-HEP 2017

by Panos Charitos

In July, more than 700 physicists gathered in Venice to discuss the latest developments in the field of particle physics at EPS 2017, one of the most important international conferences of the field.
