Searching for leptoquarks at the LHC

Last month, Admir Greljo (University of Mainz) and Abdollah Mohammad (Kansas State University, US) during the Collider Cross Talk, gave a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and experimental aspects in leptoquarks searches. Leptoquarks are…

Interview with Kip Thorne

Kip Thorne is one of the leading physicists working on Einstein's theory of relativity today. He has pioneered the scientific investigation of black holes in the universe. He was one of the founders of the LIGO project to detect gravitational waves…

Where is Supersymmetry?

The original ideas The original ideas for introducing supersymmetry dates back in the 1960s when, in the context of hadron physics that was found to be approximately spin-flavour independent, a symmetry between mesons and baryons was proposed. These…

Charting the Unknown: interpreting LHC data from the energy frontier

The LHC has started its Run2, exploring for the first time the high-energy frontier at 13 TeV. Collected data will give decisive information on the dynamics behind electroweak symmetry breaking and allow testing the weak-scale naturalness. A TH…

Hagedorn’s Legacy

A half-day workshop took place last week at CERN on Hagedorn’s Legacy. It provided the forum for discussing the past, present and future of Hagedorn’s contributions to physics, 50 year’s after the publication of his seminal Nuovo Cimento paper on…

Guido Altarelli

Guido Altarelli passed away on September 30th, the TH group bid farewell him: "Many memories rush to mind, as tears to our eyes. His ironic humour, his warmth, his kindness, his integrity, his magnificent smile. A pillar of our group is gone. His…

Measuring the strong coupling constant: from the LHC to FCC-ee

The latest advances in the measurement of the coupling of the strong interaction were discussed in a recent workshop on “High precision measurements of αs: from LHC to FCC-ee” held at CERN, 12-13 October 2015. The meeting brought together the…

Interview with Nima Arkani Hamed

P.C. What were your biggest influences in deciding to do physics? Α.Η. As I grew up in a family of physicists, I have been fascinated by science, and especially the connection between mathematics and physics, since my childhood. For instance, I…

First public release of the Virtual Atom Smasher

In May 2015, the first public release was made of Virtual Atom Smasher, an educational game platform that was developed by a partnership between CERN and Citizen Cyberlab. During the Challenge, more than 19 billion particle collisions in the LHC and…

EPS announces the 2015 prizes in the field of high energy physics.

Last month, the High Energy and Particle Physics division of the European Physical Society announced the 2015 prizes for outstanding contributions in the field of high energy physics. The 2015 Young Experimental Physicist Prize was awarded to Jan…
