To meet the experimental challenges posed by design studies for future colliders, CERN’s EP department is preparing to launch a rigorous R&D programme.
With the conclusion of Run 2, ALICE has entered a new phase, during which a major upgrade of its detector, data-taking and data-processing systems will be implemented.
In order to achieve the full benefit of the HL-LHC, CMS has launched an intensive R&D programme along with major work on key infrastructures during LS2.
The LHCb detector will undergo a significant upgrade in parallel to the trigger system upgrade during LS2 to cope with higher luminosities and gather significantly more data.

To fully exploit the HL-LHC luminosities, the innermost stations, the so called Small Wheels (SW), of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer need to be replaced by New Small Wheels (NSW); an upgrade scheduled for LS2.

A Q&A with Professor Claudia de Rham about her work on the most fundamental questions at the intersection of gravity, cosmology and particle physics and how they can shed light on the problem of dark energy.
The INSIGHTS MSCA network aims to develop new statistical methods and boost the use of machine learning (ML) to solve some of the most challenging problems in particle physics and society.
