Among the many pioneering results that have been published at ISOLDE was the discovery of odd-even staggering in the mean-square charge radius in neutron deficient Hg isotopes in the 1970s, as part of the RADOP experiment which measured the isotopic…

The CMS detector is built from several different layers, surrounding the beam pipe in which the LHC beams collide. The subdetector that is closest to the collisions is the pixel detector. It has a functionality similar to a digital camera taking 40…

In LS2 the LHCb detector will go through a metamorphosis. To facilitate running at five times larger interaction rate than in run 2 all readout electronics will be replaced. For LHCb’s vertex detector, the so-called ‘vertex locator’ or VELO, the…
