Focus on the Run Coordinators of the LHC Experiments
Focus on the Run Coordinators of the LHC Experiments As the preparations for Run2 are coming to an end, and the first collisions are scheduled to take place in a few weeks, the control rooms of the LHC experiments have become hives of activity, getting ready to record the first data. Run Coordinators are responsible

LHC restart update
LHC restart update LHC run 2 is coming ever closer. Seven of the machine’s eight sectors have successfully been commissioned to the 2015 operating energy of 6.5 TeV per beam, and the eighth is not far behind. There will, however, be no circulating beam in the LHC this week. An intermittent short circuit to ground

ATLAS: Preparing for LHC Run2
ATLAS: Preparing for LHC Run2 The ATLAS teams are wrapping things up and prepare for Run 2, as Long Shutdown 1 is coming to an end. The collaboration has made major upgrades to increase the efficiency, safety, and environmental impact of the detector; 2014 was a really busy year. The ATLAS detector is now a

ATLAS micromegas detectors tested in T9
ATLAS micromegas detectors tested in T9 BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/atlas-micromegas-detectors-tested-t9) The upgrade of the ATLAS detector calls for a new generation of muon detectors capable of operating in a flux of collision and background particles approximately ten times larger compared to today's conditions. The new technology of micromegas detectors is one

ATLAS and LHCb evacuation exercises
ATLAS and LHCb evacuation exercises The PH department, in partnership with the HSE, the fire brigade, and the Group Leaders In Matters Of Safety (GLIMOS), conducts annual exercises to ensure safety at CERN. This year, as part of the continuous effort to improve even more the safety standards of CERN, evacuation exercises took place for

RD53: Development of pixel readout integrated circuits for extreme rate and radiation.
RD53: Development of pixel readout integrated circuits for extreme rate and radiation. In June 2013 the LHCC has endorsed the establishment of a new R&D collaboration, RD53, to address the challenges of making readout integrated circuits for the phase 2 pixel detector upgrades of ATLAS and CMS, as well as long term developments of interest

ATLAS LS1 considerations
ATLAS LS1 considerations Ten months passed from the beginning of this very hectic Long Shutdown 1 (LS1) and ATLAS went already through so many changes and operations, that it becomes hard to list all of them. LS1 reminds me of the construction time when many people were working underground on the detector and the infrastructure.

Entretien avec Peter Jenni
Entretien avec Peter Jenni Peter Jenni a commencé très jeune à s’intéresser à la physique. Il avait toujours aimé lire des textes de vulgarisation sur le sujet, même s’il n’avait pas été très motivé par son professeur de physique du secondaire. Il lui sembla naturel d'opter pour des études de physique, en se concentrant sur

Interview with Peter Jenni
Interview with Peter Jenni Peter Jenni's interest in physics began in a very young age. He had always enjoyed reading about physics although his high-school physics teacher wasn’t very inspiring as an educator. Studying Physics seemed as a natural choice, hence he decided to focus on experimental physics as well as astronomy and mathematics. He
