3rd workshop on medical applications of spectroscopic X-‐ray detectors.
3rd workshop on medical applications of spectroscopic X-‐ray detectors. The 3rd workshop on medical applications of spectroscopic X-ray detectors took place at CERN from 20-23 April. There were 113 registered participants of which about 50 were from industry. All of the major medical equipment suppliers active in the spectroscopic Computer Tomography (CT) field (GE, Philips,

The new CMS Timing and Control Distribution System
The new CMS Timing and Control Distribution System It is of paramount importance that all parts of an LHC experiment are synchronized to each other and to the passage of particles in the centre of the experiment. The original CMS Timing, Trigger, and Control (TTC) system made this possible during the first period of data-taking

The run 2015 for the PH-DT Irradiation Facilities has begun! The PH-DT irradiation facilities team operates the Proton Irradiation Facility (IRRAD) at the PS East Area and the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) located at the SPS North Area. Moreover, the team provides support in planning irradiation experiments at CERN and organizes irradiation campaigns in facilities

LHC experiments back in business at record energy
LHC experiments back in business at record energy BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/lhc-experiments-back-business-record-energy) The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started delivering physics data on 3rd of June for the first time in 27 months. After an almost two year shutdown and several months re-commissioning, the LHC is now providing collisions to all of

Editorial – May 2015
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

TH Institute on “Neutral Naturalness”
TH Institute on "Neutral Naturalness" The TH Institute on "Neutral Naturalness", focussing on theories which aim to address the hierarchy problem and feature color-neutral top partner fields was held at CERN/TH from 23 to 26 April 2015. The systematic study of "neutral naturalness": natural theories with SM-neutral states that are as yet untested by the

LS1 Upgrade of the ATLAS Level-1 Central Trigger Processor
LS1 Upgrade of the ATLAS Level-1 Central Trigger Processor Triggering at the LHC is a challenge: during Run-1 in ATLAS, the task was to select out of the 40 million bunch crossings per second the 1000 events most promising for data analysis. The first of three levels of this selection is the Level-1 trigger system,

LHC sees first circulating beams
LHC sees first circulating beams Long Shutdown 1 officially came to an end on 5 April 2015, when a beam of protons circulated the LHC for the first time after two years. Following this long period of upgrades, repairs, and consolidation, the LHC is now ready to restart at 13 TeV, almost double its previous
