New Staff Members and Fellows – Autumn 2026
New Staff Members and Fellows – Autumn 2026 Christian Appelt Hello, I’m Christian. I’ve joined EP-ATL-SO as a Research Fellow. I completed professional training as an electronics technician, worked in industry for 5 years, and studied electrical engineering (BEng) and physics (BSc, MSc, PhD). I’ve worked at several research institutes; in ATLAS, I’ve been involved in and am leading long-lived particle searches, the production

Online use of AI within ALICE
Online use of AI within ALICE A reconstructed event of particles in the ALICE TPC, with data taken with the neural network cluster finding algorithm. Pink dots are reconstructed clusters. AI applications have rapidly expanded in everyday life, and ALICE, among other high-energy physics experiments at CERN, is increasingly exploring their use in fundamental physics

Random Number Generators for Precision Monte Carlos
Random Number Generators for Precision Monte Carlos The Monte Carlo method is used primarily for calculations that are too difficult or even impossible to perform analytically, so that as our experiments and theories become more accurate, we become more dependent on the quality of our MC calculations and hence on the random numbers they use.
