We are happy to announce the public release of the first dedicated search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) at the LHC. The search uses the 13 TeV pp collision data collected by the CMS detector in 2016-2018. This effort…
After 8 months of hard work, coffee, and tacos, Martí leaves the PPC having submitted his Master’s Thesis: a huge congratulations! A visiting student from ETH Zurich, Martí worked alongside our very own Mariarosaria and Kyungseop to study rare Higgs…
The long awaited P5 report is out! … and, speaking for myself here, it is not exactly what I imagined, but it is a formidable piece of work, which is bold and cautious at the same time. In big strokes…
The community of High Energy Physicists comes together usually every three years in form of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) and goes through a seminar on “Future Perspectives in High Energy Physics”. This year was special for a…
Ludovico, mostly referred to as Ludo, arrived in Cambridge on June 1, 2023 and worked on his master thesis, in which he searched for dark photons in the low mass range from 1 to 10 GeV. This analysis uses our…
The NUPAX division in the Physics Department at MIT seeks to make a new junior faculty appointment. Make sure to tell people of our search. It is an open search but we will be looking very hard for a new…
November 1, 2023 was the day that our own Nergis Mavalvala, our Dean came to CERN for the first time. Bolek the director of the Laboratory for Nuclear Science had invited her and she accepted, curious as we learned during…
The Year End Technical Stop or for the LHC experts YETS is in effect as of today (October 30, 2023). The year has finished with an exciting Heavy Ion run which started slow but eventually picked up the pace and…
Run 2 results attracted significant interest in heavy flavor physics at the LHC. The highlights of these findings include a 3-sigma discrepancy in the decay rate of the B meson into charm mesons with either a muon or a tau,…
Problem set number 7 in Classical Mechanics at MIT included one problem which required the use of our A2rchi installation. With over 600 students asking questions and doing so of course only the evening on which the problem set was…
