From Run 3 to the next generation: following the transformation of the LHC experiments
From dismantling detector components to installing new technologies, the transition from Run 3 to the next generation of LHC experiments is a major scientific and engineering undertaking. We follow the teams behind this transformation, exploring the challenges inside the experimental caverns and the expertise across CERN’s EP Department that helps turn ambitious upgrade plans into…

Rucio crosses the exabyte horizon
Rucio crosses the exabyte horizon When we last wrote in these pages about Rucio, ATLAS had just passed the half-exabyte mark and the community counted around thirty organisations. Six years on, a threshold that was then a distant projection has been crossed: both ATLAS and CMS, the two largest LHC experiments, now each manage more

Heterogeneous computing efforts for high-energy physics experiments
Heterogeneous computing efforts for high-energy physics experiments 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, complex silicon vertex trackers (3D and 4D) and highly granular calorimeters must operate in

ATLAS and CMS joint bootcamp for analysis preservation
ATLAS and CMS joint bootcamp for analysis preservation 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 of three days, the workshop participants learnt through hands-on tutorials and
