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…

In December 2019 a proposed upgrade of the FASER detector designed to study neutrinos at the LHC was approved by CERN. The new detector called FASERν will be placed in front of the main FASER detector, 480-m in front of the ATLAS collision…

Plastic scintillator is one of the most used active materials in high-energy physics. A charged particle crossing a plastic scintillator loses part of its initial energy and produces a quantity of scintillation light that depends on its energy and…

In the spirit of the ongoing LS2, the time without particle beams is currently used to significantly upgrade the two CERN Irradiation facilities run by EP-DT, namely IRRAD and GIF++.  Both facilities deliver essential services to the…

PUMA is a new experiment proposed at both the CERN AD and ISOLDE facilities, that would for the first time transport antiprotons trapped at AD/ELENA to ISOLDE, by carrying them in a trap loaded onto a truck. The antiprotons would then be used…
