Widening participation for better communications at LIP
JUN - 2020
On June 1st, it has been one year since Gaspar Barreira departed. To mark the date, we launched a tribute website full of his life and work stories and of his friends' memories. On June 19th, The 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics has been unanimously voted by the CERN Council, showing the path for a bright future for CERN and particle physics. Remarkably, the two are interconnected: Gaspar had an important role in the birth of the Strategy. In the words of Sergio Bertolucci, "Gaspar always believed that science is one of the few languages of peace that humanity invented, and that CERN is the demonstration of that. He has been one of the really relevant people in the CERN Council for at least 15 years (...) In 2006, he was one of the people who, looking at the CERN Treaty, understood that the Council should be concerned not only with the laboratory in Geneva, but with the organization of this scientific area in all Europe. This gave rise to the first European strategy for particle physics. It was no accident that the final meeting for its approval took place in Lisbon".

Since 1986
On June 1st, it has been one year since Gaspar Barreira departed. To mark the date, we launched a tribute website full of the his life and work stories and of his friends' memories. On June 19th, The 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics has been finally voted by the CERN Council and unanimously approved, showing the path for a bright future for CERN and particle physics. But the remarkable thing is that the two are interconnected: Gaspar had an important role in the birth of a European strategy for our field. In the words of Sergio Bertolucci, "Gaspar always believed that science is one of the few languages of peace that humanity invented, and that CERN is the demonstration of that. He has been one of the really relevant people in the CERN Council for at least 15 years (...) In 2006, he was one of the people who, looking at the CERN Treaty, understood that the Council should be concerned not only with the laboratory in Geneva, but with the organization of this scientific area in all Europe. This gave rise to the first European strategy for particle physics. It was no accident that the final meeting for its approval took place in Lisbon". Let's stand for a future of peace, justice and science for all humanity!

Taking SNO+ shifts from home
After the SNO+ control room at LIP, our colleagues from the LIP SNO+ group now control the SNO+ detector from home. By the way, SNO+ has just been renewed as a CERN recognised experiment for three more years. Congratulations!

Computing at (virtual) LIP
Did we work less during telework? No!
At least this is not visible in computing resources usage graphs. The plots show the number of accesses to LIP machines and of jobs in the farm. In both of team, you see a slight Easter effect in April, but no sign of the lockdown, which started in March 13.

Flyers about LIP
This is meant to be the first and most general one of a family of flyers on more specific topics: the different research areas or research lines at LIP; advanced training at LIP, etc. Please have a look, comments and suggestions are most welcome!
Updating the research group info on the LIP website
The texts introducing the research groups, competence centers or infrastructures in the LIP website are an important visiting card. They should be concise and understandable by those who visit us. This is particularly important in view of the ongoing evaluation of the research units.
Please remember these texts can be updated directly in the LIP database.

Visits to the CMS Detector at the LHC
Have you ever wondered what High-Energy Physics is? What exactly it takes to run an experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider? Or perhaps how the Higgs boson was discovered?
The CLOUD experiment at CERN recently revealed a new mechanism behind smog
The results have been published in Nature.
CMS celebrates 1000th paper
In June 2020 the CMS collaboration submitted for publication the 1,000th scientific paper.
