ISOLDE lays the ground for CP violation tests with radioactive molecules

All atoms heavier than bismuth, which has 83 protons, are radioactive and their isotopes have short half-lives, with few exceptions. As a result, the study of heavy atoms and their molecular compounds is complicated by the radioactive decay of the…

First Physics Results from the FASER Experiment

FASER is a new small LHC experiment designed to search for light, weakly interacting, long-lived beyond-standard model particles such as dark photons and to detect high energy neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions. The FASER detector is…

ANUBIS: a guide into the dark sector

The ancient Egyptians believed Anubis was a jackal-headed god who accompanied kings to the underworld. Today we know better: ANUBIS is a proposed extension to the ATLAS detector to explore the dark sector by searching for long-lived particles (LLPs…

Lighting the dark with NA64: news from Light Dark Matter searches

The existence of Dark Matter (DM) has been inferred by Cosmology and Astrophysics through its gravitational effects. However, its microscopic nature remains one of the most pressing questions in particle physics. Scenarios in which the DM is a…

Update on CernVM-FS

Fig. 1: Map of CVMFS cache instances. The tiered cache model is one of the techniques that helps to efficiently deploy software on /cvmfs to computing sites all over the world. Anyone who has ever used experimental software on CERN's computing…

Report from the 6th Workshop on the LHCb Upgrade II

From March 29 until 31, the LHCb collaboration held its 6th Upgrade II workshop in the Faculty of Physics in Barcelona with 147 participants. It was the first time the collaboration gathered in-person after the pandemic to discuss plans for the…
