Dear Colleagues, dear Members of the EP Department and CERN Users,I am writing this editorial while on telework from home. We are in an unprecedented situation, which would have been unimaginable only one month ago. In this month we have seen the Covid-19 crisis developing at a tearing pace. CERN could not remain an isolated island and we were also forced to take actions ...
Interviews & Features
-
The proposed experiment would for the first time transport antiprotons trapped at AD/ELENA to ISOLDE where they will be used for nuclear physics experiments. -
The POLAR-2 collaboration builds a compact satellite-born detector promising a new era in Gamma-Ray Bursts studies. -
The proposed MUonE experiment plans to shed light on the muon anomalous magnetic moment; one of the most intriguing questions in particle physics. -
Advanced deep neural networks can have multiple applications in the design of high-granularity calorimeters for future experiments while some of the offered solutions can find applications beyond particle physics. -
