Eight years after their first visit to ALMA’s site in Chile, CERN’s Paola Catapano and Mike Struik pay a second visit to the experimental site and its 66 antennas, now in operation. For the past four years, anything ALMA has observed has been a press release, and more is certainly to come for the world’s largest astronomical project. Closer to the field of particle physics, in this issue we feature the role of photons as probes to investigate the properties of quark–gluon plasma, and we discover DUNE, the flagship neutrino experiment gaining global interest from an increasingly large community. Finally, we pay tribute to a giant of physics, Nobel laureate Yoichiro Nambu, who passed away in July. To sign up to the new-issue alert, please visit: http://cerncourier.com/cws/sign-up.

A fi rst visible change is this “Viewpoint”. Up until the October issue, it could be found at the end of the issue. Now it has been placed at the start, and its role has changed from that of an opinion piece to being the opening article intended to grab the reader’s attention. Cian O’Luanaigh 2015 O’Luanaigh Cian Is it working? Are you reading it? Please let me know. Although this is probably the fi rst time that we have appealed for feedback directly in these pages, the fact that the CERN Courier is open to contributions and feedback from the wider community is far from new. From when the magazine was fi rst published online, the “Contact us” webpage has stated the following, in French and English: “CERN Courier welcomes contributions from the international high-energy physics community. These can be written in English or French, and will be published in the same language. If you have a suggestion for an article, please send your proposal to the editor.” In other words, for many years we have been eager to hear from you. And, indeed, you have communicated with us and given your feedback, and we have published your work, your professional ambitions, and your points of view. We have been part of your life and you have been part of ours. Many thanks for that. And what does the future hold?

    THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER SWITCH ON PARLIAMENTARY AND SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE BREAKFAST BRIEFING ON TUESDAY 20TH FEBRUARY Working at CERN CERN provides an exciting environment for people working in a variety of roles British scientists have played leading roles in CERN operations and management from its inception in the 1950s. John Adams, who joined CERN in 1953 from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, was CERN's leading accelerator designer and engineer, eventually becoming Director General in 1976. With fellow Brit, Mervyn Hine, he built the accelerators that were to establish CERN as the leading particle physics laboratory in the world. Science in Parliament Vol 64 No 2 Whitsun 2007 23 At one stage, three of the four LEP experiments were led by UK physicists: Wilbur Venus (DELPHI), David Plane (OPAL) and Peter Dornan (ALEPH), while Chris Llewellyn-Smith, as Director General between 1994 and 1998, saw the LHC through its final stages of approval. Roger Cashmore was Director for Collider Programmes from 1999 to 2003, overseeing the running of LEP and co-ordinating the LHC programme. Today, you'll also find UK people working in CERN's extensive outreach programme, in IT, technology transfer and all aspects of management. And, of course, CERN runs on the fuel provided by the efforts of PhD students who come to CERN to work for short periods. Many of them are attracted by the international atmosphere, Geneva's central European location, the mountain scenery – and of course the ski-ing! THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER SWITCH ON Dr Lyn Evans Lyn Evans has been at CERN for 34 years, working first on the SPS.

  • U5570 A2 Poster-Prof R Cashmore V2
    City University Distinguished Lecture Series Speaker Professor Roger Cashmore Chairman, UK Atomic Energy Authority Sustainable Energy and a Sustainable Environment for the 21st Century: The Role of Nuclear Power Generation Distinguished Lecture Series on Tuesday, 22 March 2016 at 4:30 pm at Connie Fan Multi-media Conference Room 4/F Cheng Yick-chi Building City University of Hong Kong Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Abstract There are many aspects to the provision of sustainable energy and a sustainable environment, nationally and globally, in the 21st century ranging over issues of energy sources, security of supply, demand and use, cost and climate change. A solution must exploit all of the available carbon ‘free’ technologies and Nuclear Generation, in its many varieties, can play a major role providing there is a sustained commitment to R&D in all areas internationally. Biography Professor Roger Cashmore was appointed Chairman of the UK Atomic Energy Authority in 2010. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 2010 led the Royal Society working group on Nuclear Proliferation. He is a former Principal of Brasenose College in Oxford, and is a Professor of Experimental Physics in Oxford. Before returning to Oxford, he was Director of Research and Deputy Director General of CERN, the European high energy physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, where he was responsible for the experimental Enquiries: programme at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Before leaving for CERN he was Ofce of the Vice-President Chairman of Physics in Oxford and during his teaching and research career he has more than 200 publications in learned journals.
