This “double issue” provides plenty to read during what is for many people the holiday season. The feature articles illustrate well the breadth of modern IceCube brings particle physics – from the Standard Model, which is still being tested in the analysis of data from Fermilab’s Tevatron, to the tantalizing hints of news from the deep extraterrestrial neutrinos from the IceCube Observatory at the South Pole. A connection of a different kind between space and particle physics emerges in the interview with the astronaut who started his postgraduate life at CERN, while connections between particle physics and everyday life come into focus in the application of particle detectors to the diagnosis of breast cancer. And if this is not enough, take a look at Summer Bookshelf, with its selection of suggestions for more relaxed reading.

Cavities Radio-frequency cavities drive accelerators across the world, their weird and tune up wonderful metallic structures sustaining strong electromagnetic fields that shunt charged particles to higher energies. Particle physicists have pioneered the development of the most powerful superconducting cavities, and CERN is at the core of this effort. Currently installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron for their first tests in a proton beam are two superconducting “crab” cavities, named for their ability to tilt proton bunches sideways to ensure maximum collision intensity. The technology is at the heart of the high-luminosity LHC upgrade and is based on cavities made entirely from niobium. But CERN is also making huge strides with advanced niobium-coated copper cavities. Once the pinnacle of radio-frequency technology at CERN, driving the upgraded Large Electron Positron collider during the 1990s, niobium– copper cavities are back and even beginning to challenge the performance of their bulk-niobium counterparts. Such developments underpin the recent energy upgrade of the radioactive-beam facility ISOLDE and are key to next-generation accelerators at CERN and elsewhere.

Friends and Colleagues Look at Aspects of Cocconi's Lifelong Interest in the Cosmos and Recent Developments in Modern Physics
TRIBUTE Giuseppe Cocconi and his love of the cosmos Friends and colleagues look at aspects of Cocconi’s lifelong interest in the cosmos and recent developments in modern physics, revealing a physicist of remarkable perception. In 1938 Giuseppe Cocconi published his first paper, “On the spectrum of cosmic radiation”. His last unpublished note of December 2005 bore the title “Arguments in favour of a personal interpre- tation of extra galactic cosmic rays”. No better indication could be given of his deep interest in astronomy and astrophysics, which lasted until he died in November 2008 aged 94 (CERN Courier March 2009 p36). The fields that he pioneered are now witnessing exciting new developments. Over the past six months they have reminded us of his many contributions to physics; his simple, direct way to conceive and perform experiments; and his unique way of presenting the sub- jects that he loved. In this article we describe some of these events and recall what Giuseppe contributed to the various fields. Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays Giuseppe and Vanna Cocconi check cosmic-ray shower detectors. This Giuseppe’s interest in the cosmos began when he was in his teens. photograph appeared in an article in the world famous magazine Life in He would design sundials for friends’ villas around his home town of November 1948.

Have Been Developed Over the Years. the Glide
European Athletics Officials Newsletter Number 2, January 2021 As we welcome a new year allow me a few moments to look ahead at what promises to be a packed year for European Athletics, with re-scheduled events from last year plus those already planned, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games scheduled for later this summer. All of this comes with a large caveat that the world is successful in overcoming the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and that the vaccine programmes being rolled out are efficient and successful. Either way, my feeling is that athletics in 2021 will be conducted under strict sanitary protocols and to that effect we at European Athletics are working hard to deliver guidelines that will allow our events to take place in safe conditions. Just as we have not stopped in our planning and work to deliver European Athletics events this year, I am sure that the work that you as officials and volunteers have undertaken during the last year will hold you in good stead as we approach a return to events. Several shot put throwing the circle, and also touching it quite We all know that officials and volunteers styles—glide, rotational, leg often.
