Dear Colleagues, dear Members of the EP Department and CERN Users,
It is a pleasure to introduce this edition of the EP newsletter. Once again the newsletter contains many articles covering the broad spectrum of activities in our department.
A new building at CERN is ready to house ongoing R&D activities that will push the performance of detectors to cope with the high performance of the LHC.
With the recent completion of the second phase of HIE-ISOLDE, CERN’s ISOLDE facility has a machine capable of answering long-unanswered questions about the nature of the nucleus.
A new generation of neutrino experiments, leveraging high-intensity neutrino beams for precision measurements, could complement high-energy searches for new physics.
The study of the Higgs boson and how it couples with the known particles of the Standard Model sets a clear, albeit ambitious, challenge for the experimental programme for post-LHC colliders.
Persistent tensions in the Standard Model of particle physics compel us to seek out new physics at the TeV scale, and the Higgs boson provides us with a potential portal.
The workshop on medical applications of spectroscopic X-ray detectors (specXray) brings together specialists in the field from physics, medical research and industry meet to exchange experience and knowledge.
From 3 to 5 June, the 2019 CernVM Workshop took place at CERN bringing together software developers, computing experts and experts from the IT industry.
