After 4 July 2012, 8 October 2013 was another important date in the life of particle physicists when the work of François Englert and Peter Higgs was recognised with the 2013 Physics Nobel Prize. At the same moment, the thousands of LHC particle physicists felt also rewarded for their hard work in finding the Higgs […]
Register now for LCWS 2013. Early registration closing soon!
The 2013 International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS13) will be held at the Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo, Japan (the main campus of the university close to central Tokyo), from 11 to 15 November. The workshop will be devoted to the study of the physics case for a high-energy linear electron-positron collider, […]
A guided tour around the CLIC test facility
http://cds.cern.ch/record/1599427 Video: CERN Ever wanted a personal tour around the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3)? Then this video is for you. You will follow and listen to Frank Tecker, responsible for CTF3 operations, who will guide you around the scaled-down version of the Compact Linear Collider acceleration principle.

From symmetry magazine: Scientists look to next decades in US particle physics
From the output of the “Snowmass” meeting, US particle physicists will chart a path to answering some of science’s most intriguing questions. More than 600 particle physicists from nearly 100 universities and laboratories came together on the University of Minnesota’s Minneapolis campus to enumerate the field’s most pressing scientific questions and contemplate the experiments needed […]
Pixel party
Marcel Vos (IFIC Valencia, Spain), with help from Igor Rubinsky and Hanno Perrey (DESY, Germany), Carlos Marinas and Theresa Obermann (Bonn University, Germany), and David Cussans (Bristol University, UK)
Three detector R&D collaborations developing the next generation of pixel detectors tested their systems in a combined test beam. The goal is to build a beam telescope that will bring users not only precise information about where particles went, but also when they passed through the device under test – a much-needed novelty for many […]

Snowmass: Energy Frontier working group meeting agenda online
The Seattle meeting of the Energy Frontier working groups is taking place from 30 June to 3 July. The agenda page is now online. The organisers are planning a mix of plenary and parallel talks and a panel discussion, all aimed at providing the final input to the working groups before their reports must actually be written.
