A Moriond Retrospective: New Results from the LHC Experiments

Every March, particle physicists around the world take two weeks to promote results, share opinions and do a bit of skiing in-between. This is the Moriond tradition and the 52nd iteration of the conference took place this year in La Thuile, Italy.…

Wealth of new results in Quark Matter 2017

Last month, the LHC experiment collaborations presented their latest results at the Quark Matter 2017 conference on how matter behaved in the very early moments of the universe. The programme includes a plethora of presentations on a…

An ambitious p-Pb data taking campaign just came to an end

These asymmetric collisions were originally meant as a benchmark to control for background effects unrelated to the production of a quark-gluon plasma, expected in Pb-Pb collisions simply due to the use of Pb nuclei instead of protons in the…

LHC experiments present latest results in ICHEP16

New results from the LHC experiments were presented during the 38th International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP 2016) that took place in Chicago, USA. The collaborations of the LHC experiments can now dive in and explore at the…

LHC Restart 2016

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data at 13TeV. The goal is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics which ulitmately in decades to come can drive innovation and inventions…

ATLAS and ALICE PhD Awards

Two of the LHC experiments, ATLAS and ALICE, recently announced winners of the “ATLAS PhD Grant” and “ALICE Thesis Award” schemes. The prizes aim to foster healthy competition between young members of the two collaborators and acknowledge the hard…

Exit protons, enter ions

The 2015 LHC proton run, the first after the long shutdown 1, ended last week with a good performance of the LHC given the challenges of running at the new collision energy of 13 TeV. The new energy regime brought up several issues such as…

LHC experiments upgraded trigger plans

As the LHC prepares for higher energies and luminosities all four experiments have upgraded their triggering to record data more efficiently and make sure that their detectors are ready to find evidence for new physics. The trigger teams from the…

ALICE presents latest results at Hard Probes 2015

ALICE, presented a wealth of scientific results. Equipped with a central barrel with high-resolution tracking systems, several detectors for identifying particles from low to high momentum, electromagnetic calorimeters, and with a muon spectrometer…

LHC experiments present latests results from heavy-ion runs (old)

The 7th edition of the Hard Probes International Conference series was hosted by McGill University in Montréal, Québec, Canada, from 29 June to 3 July. During the last two decades, high-energy nuclear physics has seen a tremendous progress;…
