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

CERN STEAM Academy puts the future of scientific software centre stage
C++ creator Bjarne Stroustrup returned to CERN for a packed STEAM Academy seminar on the future of scientific software. From safer programming and simpler code to new language features and the demands of long-lived research infrastructure, he explored how C++ can continue to evolve alongside the computing challenges of modern science.

AI for Gravitational Waves: Building Bridges Between Scientific Communities
AI for Gravitational Waves: Building Bridges Between Scientific Communities As gravitational-wave observatories enter a new phase of sensitivity, scale and scientific ambition, the challenge is no longer only to detect faint ripples in spacetime. It is also to analyse, interpret and respond to them fast enough to open new windows on the Universe. This was

New Staff Members and Fellows
New Staff Members and Fellows Maximilian Babeluk Hi, I’m Max. I recently joined the ALICE ITS3 team, where I work on sensor testing, functional verification, and in the future also chip design – particularly on MOSAIX. My main activities include testing and yield assessment across multiple integration levels (wafer probing to system tests), including data

Triggering in ATLAS in Run 3
Triggering in ATLAS in Run 3 The ATLAS collaboration recently celebrated its 30th anniversary following the submission of the experiment’s Letter of Intent in 1992 and has accomplished great achievements during these years. However, it is still a young experiment, with only 6% of the total data set acquired to date. During the LHC Long

System-on-Chip in Particle Physics Experiments
System-on-Chip in Particle Physics Experiments Many experiments in particle physics use custom-built electronics boards in order to perform event triggering and data readout. For many years now, those electronics boards have been using Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) for processing data. An FPGA is a type of integrated circuit that is reconfigurable and that provides fast

LHCb adopts GPUs in Run 3 trigger
LHCb adopts GPUs in Run 3 trigger The LHCb experiment is currently being upgraded to continue its study of beauty and charm hadrons at a five times higher instantaneous luminosity in LHC Run 3 that is now set to start in 2022. At the increased luminosity, these hadrons are produced so abundantly that selections based

Upgrading the LHCb trigger system
Upgrading the LHCb trigger system BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/upgrading-lhcb-trigger-system) The 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

ATLAS trigger system meets the challenges of Run 2
ATLAS trigger system meets the challenges of Run 2 The trigger system is an essential component of any collider experiment as it is responsible for deciding whether or not to keep an event from a given bunch-crossing interaction for later study. During Run 2 (2015 to 2018) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the trigger
