LIP
Since 1986
This month we celebrate the 34th anniversary of LIP — still in telework mode, but already expecting the return, slow and protected as it must be. But do we really want things to be exactly as they were before? What is it worth going back to, and what would we like to change? In this anniversary month, we can extend the question to this community we are part of. What is LIP and what do we want it to be? Thinking about the future of an institution involves recognizing its origin and identity. With your help, we will gather contributions to this brainstorm — from the stories of LIP's history to what is most needed now!

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.

Telework survey: What have we learned?
- The majority of people works as efficiently as, or more efficiently at home than in the office
- 90% of the respondents would like to work from home 1 (28%), 2 (50%) or even 3 (12%) days per week in normal conditions
- Biggest advantage: for 1/2 of the people, it's not having to commute; for 1/4, better concentration. The other 1/4 just does not like it!
- Biggest challenge: It varies widely, but biggest slices are housekeeping tasks, lack of motivation, children at home and remote meetings!
- Technical conditions: most people were already ok before, about 1/4 improved a lot now, 10% are still fighting with problems... can we help?

Telework and health
Many colleagues complain about health problems related to telework — pain in the back, sciatica, headaches, insomnia and more have been reported. Here you can find some advice:
- Make sure you have a good chair and an ergonomic working position
- Have a break every 1.5 or 2 hours maximum — exercise your eyes (looking through the window at a distant spot) and your body (see here).
Go for a walk/run! - Drink water and eat healthy and
at regular hours - See CERN's advice on mental and physical health

COVID-19: Present rules at LIP
First stage of deconfinement:- The teleworking regime should continue to be privileged as far as possible.
- Access
and permanence in the LIP premises must respect the rules defined for
the campus where they are located and comply with the hygiene rules
(washing and disinfection of hands), use of mask and distancing defined
by the DGS.
- In particular, in offices with less than 20 m2,
there should not be more than one person at the same time. For LIP
members who may have to stay on the premises and contact other LIP
members, it is recommended that, in addition to the mask, they use one
of the visors produced at the LIP Mechanical Workshops, which are
available at the Lisboa and Coimbra secretariats. These visors must be
sterilized daily with alcohol or immersed in a solution with bleach for a
while.
- Infrastructure coordinators must agree with the
management on how the infrastucture will operate, particularly if this
implies the regular use of LIP's facilities.

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?
"Historical" papers in LIP's history
On the month of LIP’s anniversary, it would be nice to put together a list of some of the publications that made history, at LIP and beyond... We started the list with some obvious choices, such as the first paper. Please help us to continue!

ASACUSA experiment studies new exotic atom at PSI
It’s like an helium-4 atom, but with an electron and a negative pion. Exotic atom spectroscopy is a tool for precise measurement of the replacement particle properties and to search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model

SNO+ experiment recognized by CERN
SNO+ will remain a CERN recognized experiment (RE35) for another 3 years. Meanwhile, at Lisbon, colleagues from the LIP SNO+ group are taking shifts controlling the experiment from home.
