There will be an interesting CERN seminar today!
Luisella Lari, PhD, will present the new particle collider being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory, "EIC".
The electrons will serve as probes, and the entire machine will produce snapshots of the protonās internal structure ā ālike a CT scanner for atomsā, as the EIC website notes.
Today, at 4:30 pm (CEST time), at CERN or online --> lnkd.in/ehHv8rWB
The Large Hadron Collider is up and running again, and itās exciting to see particles start to circulate! š«
The LHC team has started circulating one beam of protons.
I'm in the control room, and the first "beam splashes" are expected any time soon, now!
Foggy night at CERN, todayā¦
Iām waiting the tram to downtown Geneva in front of the CERN āGlobeā (or āGlobe of Science and Innovationā) and everything is immersed in a thick fog.
Nicely hushed and dreamlike ambianceā¦
šØJob Opportunity reminder!
Are you a physicist working on the @ATLASexperiment, and would you like to work at CERN for 6 months?
Two grants, work with me @CERN on software projects:
1. Interactive Event Data Visualization šø
2. Physics Validation š
Deadline is TOMORROW! š±
Interested? š
Or, do you know somebody who works in the @ATLASexperiment and might be interested?
You can find all the info here (ATLAS internal link only; sorry for the others...):

6 a.m. ā° Leaving from Geneva to Krakow
Iāll be honored to give give a talk at the āCHEP2024ā conference
It is āComputing in High Energy Physicsā, and itās one of the major conferences in our field
But why āComputingā??
Well, computing plays a major role in our experiments š§µ
For each of these tasks, and for the many others I omitted here, we need dedicated software and computing techniques
And thatās not something we find on the marketā¦
On Friday, I attended a historical symposium here at CERN, organized to celebrate the long career of Carlo Rubbia, 1984 Nobel laureate for Physics.
I took this picture at the moment of the birthday cake š
And, in the room, in addition to Rubbia himself, there were many āgiantā physicists, the ones who made the history of particle physics, and physics in general, in the XX century!
It has been a real honor to participate! š¤
In one minute! šLive webcast from CERN to celebrate the 90th birthday of Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia!
