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.

    61st International Astronautical Congress 2010 Paper ID: 7730 SPACE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH SYMPOSIUM (E1) TO BOLDLY GO - SPACE STATION EDUCATION AND OUTREACH (5) Author: Mr. Jochen Noll University of Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] Dr. Stefan Belz University of Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] Mr. Manuel Schmitz Germany, [email protected] Prof. Ernst Messerschmid University of Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] EDUCATIONAL TRAINING ON SPACECRAFT OPERATIONS IN A SOYUZ MOCK-UP SIMULATOR Abstract The Institute for Space System (IRS) at the University of Stuttgart is offering hands-on experience for students in the field of aerospace engineering with tutorial and training in a space flight simulator. In addition to the theoretical knowledge given in lectures the students can gain practical experience and develop a better understanding of spacecraft operations in a simulated space environment. Furthermore, the intrinsic motivation of students is activated by individual flight lessons in a mock-up model emulating a Soyuz-TMA spacecraft. The training comprises of theoretical lessons followed by intensive practical sessions guided by an instructor, supplemented with free training hours for each trainee. The candidates are introduced with basic manoeuvres at the beginning of the course up to complex mission scenarios toward the end of the course. The training performance of each candidate is monitored and evaluated to provide a progress feedback in a final debriefing session. The initial software, purchased from the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in 2007, was used for the training of rendezvous and docking operations be- tween the Soyuz spacecraft and the International Space Station.

    Universität Stuttgart Fakultät Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik und Geodäsie newsletter 01 01 - 2014 news Sonderforschungsbereich geht in die zweite Runde Zum Anfang des Jahres 2014 ist der Sonderforschungsbereich Transregio 75 "Tropfendynami- sche Prozesse unter extremen Umgebungsbedingungen" in seine zweite Förderperiode gestar- tet. In diesem 2010 eingerichteten SFB arbeiten rund 60 Mitarbeiter an den Standorten Stuttgart, Darmstadt sowie dem DLR Lampoldshausen mit. Im Rahmen der Verlängerung wurden drei zusätzliche Teilprojekte, eines davon an der Universität Stuttgart, in den Forschungsverbund auf- genommen. Am Standort Stuttgart sind das VISUS (Prof. Ertl), das IAG (Prof. Munz), das IANS (Prof. Rohde), das ITT (Prof. Groß), das ITV (Prof. Kronenburg) sowie das ITLR (Prof. Weigand) beteiligt. Tropfen spielen in vielen Bereichen der Natur und der Technik eine zentrale Rolle. Beispiele aus der Natur sind Regen, Wolken oder Nebel. Im Hinblick auf technische Prozesse ist die Verdampfung von Tropfen in Kraftstoffsprays bei der Verbrennung in Kraftfahrzeugmotoren oder Flugtriebwerken zu nen- nen. Viele dieser Prozesse laufen unter extremen Umgebungsbedingungen ab, z. B. hohem Druck, extremen Temperaturen oder in starken elektrischen Feldern. Im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereichs versuchen die Wissenschaftler, ein vertieftes phy- sikalisches Verständnis derartiger Vorgänge zu ge- winnen. Dieses ist entscheidend für die Voraussage natürlicher Prozesse sowie die Optimierung techni- scher Systeme. Eine weitere Herausforderung des Forschungsgebietes

Functionality is our top priority and ultimately determines the design. only the technical features that are really needed can be found on our watches. Because we believe that products have to speak for themselves. the basic question that we ask ourselves is: which innovative technologies and materials can be employed for our craft and provide solutions for rendering our watches even more practical for everyday use? It is often worth indulging in a little lateral thinking to see what is going on in other industrial sectors or fields of science.

  • New Experiment to Gain Unparalleled Insight Into Antimatter Together in the Same Direction
    Number 25-26 | 17-24 June 2013 More articles available at: http://bulletin.cern.ch NEW EXPERIMENT TO GAIN UNPARALLELED INSIGHT INTO ANTIMATTER TOGETHER IN THE SAME DIRECTION It’s sometimes difficult to explain the nature of global collaboration in particle physics: how fierce competition coexists with collaboration, and how, whatever our differences, we all pull in the same direction. But this week gave us two strong examples. (Continued on page 2) In this issue News New experiment to gain unparalleled insight into antimatter 1 Together in the same direction 2 From CERN to space and back 3 CERN’s AD Hall: the new home of the BASE double Penning trap set-up. Flamenco guitarist Paco Peña tours CERN 3 At last week’s Research Board meeting, the Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) AIDA: concerted calorimeter development 4 was approved for installation at CERN. The experiment will be diving into the search for matter- Pension fund award 5 antimatter asymmetry, as it aims to take ultra-high precision measurements of the antiproton Finally, a crèche at CERN! 5 magnetic moment. Content, clarity and charisma 6 Two new “CERNland expert” laureates 7 Prison or “prism”?

First, let’s look precision.
