By any reasonable measure, the first ten years of the LHC have been an unmitigated success. But are we exploring everywhere in our data? The overwhelming majority of the searches for particles beyond the Standard Model (BSM) conducted at…
Read MOREThe LHCb experiment is undergoing a significant upgrade during LS2 in order to allow it to run at a five times higher instantaneous luminosity in LHC Run 3. In order to deal with the corresponding increase in pileup per bunch crossing, most of the…
Read MOREToday's scientific experiments are manifold and diverse in their objectives, size, and workflows. However, one commonality uniting most, if not all, scientific experiments is the creation and analysis of data. Managing these scientific datasets is…
Read MOREIn a recent paper, the BASE collaboration presented results from a direct search for interactions of antimatter with dark matter and placed direct constraints on the interaction of ultralight axion-like particles (dark-matter candidates) with…
Read MOREOn 22 of December 2015 a SpaceX rocket launched towards space delivering satellites to low Earth orbit and then, instead of being lost to the depths of the ocean, the rocket’s first stage -- the most expensive component of a rocket --…
Read MOREThe NA62 experiment presented the latest result on the search for the ultra-rare kaon decay K+ → π+νν ̄ using 2017 data at the KAON2019 Conference, at the Physics in Collision Conference and during a recent CERN's EP Seminar…
Read MOREIntroduction ALICE, the heavy-ion dedicated experiment at the LHC, will soon have enhanced physics capabilities with a major upgrade of the detectors, data-taking and data-processing systems which will improve the precision of the extracted…
