The Open Symposium on the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP) concluded on June 27, 2025, in Venice, serving as a critical community consultation for formulating Europe’s next major project in high-energy physics. “The time is ripe to forge a…
Summer CMS Week is always a big event: The summer has started and most people are able to get to CERN and participate in the event. I barely made it out of Boston; I had to decide last moment because…
Vienna, the Imperial and Royal (k.u.k.) capital was the place where this year’s FCC Week took place. With the submission of the feasibility study report earlier this year the excitement is noticeable and the number of participants has shot up…
This year, Anaheim, CA, was home of the famous APS April Meeting, this time held in conjunction with with the APS March Meeting (for better or for worse…). PPC presence was strong: undergraduate Nate Martinez presented his work studying and…
Organized in a co-production between Fermi- and Argonne Laboratory the Third Annual US FCC Workshop (now actually called Annual Higgs Factory FCC Workshop) was a smashing success. After our initial road trip to the First Annual US FCC Workshop at…
The first CMS week of 2025 took place during the first part of February, Monday 10th to Friday 14th. It was a rather busy week with a full agenda including a large number of plenary and parallel sessions. CMS is preparing the 2025…
Since I started my career in High Energy Physics I know about the ‘Chamonix Meeting’ where originally the LEP accelerator people got together with the LEP collaborations to plan the year ahead. The meetings seem to have started in 1991.…
Every January, I head from Geneva (CERN) to Boston for a couple of weeks to work with students on Future Circular Collider (FCC) Physics analysis projects at MIT. It’s something I look forward to every year, and this time was…
It is the third year we are making January a very busy month for undergraduate students here at MIT and at other places to learn and contribute to the planned FCC project. What started in Fall 2022 as a vague…
Visiting MIT for the fall semester, Cecilia concluded her experience here on the week of Thanksgiving. She will return to her home institution of CIEMAT to begin work on her thesis after 3 months of great physics and memorable experiences.…
