HL-LHC

Can AI help us to find tracks?

by Andreas Salzburger (CERN)

The tracking machine challenge stimulates data scientists and the HEP community to renew core tracking algorithms in preparation of the next generation of particle detectors at the LHC.

Axion-like particle searches at the LHC

by Andrea Thamm, Tom Melia, Panos Charitos

An overview of LHC searches for Axion-like particles (ALPs) both at proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. 

LHC's upgrade takes shape

by Panos Charitos

The high-luminosity upgrade to the LHC will boost the probability of discovering new physics.

Weighing up the LHC’s future

by Michelangelo Mangano

A series of meetings is scheduled throughout 2018 to review and further refine our understanding of the physics potential of the HL-LHC, and to begin a systematic study of physics at the HE-LHC.

Exploring the radiation hardness assurance for HL-LHC and future colliders. 

The Lifetime Frontier

by David Curtin and Raman Sundrum (University of Maryland)

Searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider have so far come up empty, but we just might not be looking in the right place. Spectacular bursts of particles appearing seemingly out of nowhere could shed light on some of nature’s most profound mysteries.

LHC community prepares the High Luminosity Upgrades

by D. Contardo, K. Einsweiler

The 3rd ECFA High-Luminosity LHC Experiments workshop in October was a new opportunity for the LHC community to address widely the preparation of the entire program.

Interview with Guido Tonelli

by Panos Charitos

Guido Tonelli, former spokesperson of the CMS experiment reflects on the present situation in particle physics and the significance of having a vision for the future.​
