The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has reported the first measurements of fine structure effects and Lamb shift in the energy structure of antihydrogen that provide another test of comparison between antimatter and ordinary matter. The results,…

In a recent paper, to appear in Nature Physics in the next weeks (arXiv:1911.08765v3), the CRIS collaboration, located at the ISOLDE facility in CERN, presents measurements of charge radii of exotic copper isotopes that shed further light on one of…

Luminosity is a key parameter for any collider-based high energy physics experiment as it links the interaction rates observed in an experiment to the cross sections of physics processes. Therefore, it is a key ingredient to most major analyses…

Progress in fundamental physics calls for pushing the current state-of-the-art for detectors, and developing new technologies that would boost the efficiency while reducing the cost and the environmental impact of future experiments. For future…

Substantial improvements to the current experiments at the LHC are underway, and new experiments are being proposed or discussed at future energy-frontier accelerators to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. At future hadron colliders,…

The POLAR-2 project is a follow-up of the POLAR mission that was launched in 2016, mounted on the exterior of the Chinese Spacelab Tiangong-2. Following its application to the Recognized Experiment Committee earlier this year, it has been…

A new proposed project, MUonE, was described on the EP Newsletter few months ago [2]. It is an experiment aiming at helping in understanding the long-standing discrepancy between the experimental value and the Standard Model (SM)…

Last month, 30 young graduate students and postdocs gathered at CERN to attend the first joint ATLAS+CMS analysis preservation bootcamp, organised by Sam Meehan, Clemens Lange, Lukas Heinrich (CERN), and Savannah Thais (Princeton). Over the course…

Precision measurements in high energy physics as well as an increasing amount of searches for new phenomena rely on a precise reconstruction of the event that caused a particular signature in the detector. Particle flow algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4] aim to…
