Editorial - May 2015
Dear Colleagues,
With the LHC now back in action, all the LHC experiments are preparing to study the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved in the laboratory, and search for clear signs of physics beyond the Standard Model. Earlier in April the first beams circulated and the control rooms of all four LHC experiments have been busy with the commissioning of the detectors. In this issue we complete the presentation of the Run Coordinators, this time for the ATLAS, LHCb and TOTEM experiments. In addition you can read more on the upgrade of the ATLAS Level-1 Central Trigger Processor that took place during the shutdown.
Reflecting CERN's diverse scientific programme, first results from the NA62 experiment are also presented, as well as a report from the workshop on AMS results that was recently held at CERN. Our laboratory remains an international centre of excellence, as marked by distinctions that were recently awarded to members of the ISOLDE experiment. The large community of our department remains actively involved in outreach and educational projects and we include articles on CERN's Latin-America and the upcoming European School on HEP, an outreach group meeting, and contributions from Knowledge Transfer.
I wish you pleasant reading,
