  • Europeans Decide on Particle Strategy
    RESEARCHNEWS Europeans Decide on Particle Strategy The CERN Council approved a strategy update that prioritizes a 100-km circular collider, while still developing other options for future particle physics projects. By Michael Schirber uropean particle physicists have updated their strategy Particle Physics Update was unanimously endorsed on June 19 for the coming decades. Beyond current commitments, by the CERN Council, which is the governing body of the CERN Ethe community advocates pursuing a new facility at the facility. The Update outlines a number of current and future CERN site outside Geneva—a circular collider with a priorities. In the near-term, the main initiatives for Europe are circumference of 100 kilometers. Such a machine could serve a the high-luminosity upgrade of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider dual purpose: to act initially as a “Higgs factory” where (LHC) and continuing support of international neutrino electrons and positrons smash together at energies up to 350 experiments, such as the forthcoming Deep Underground GeV, and to later scope out the high-energy frontier by colliding Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) in the US. But beyond that, many protons at up to 100-TeV energies. The feasibility of this questions remain. “CERN needs to have a project for after the so-called Future Circular Collider (FCC) is still an open question, LHC,” says Halina Abramowicz, chair of the European Strategy which is why the strategy also calls for continued research and Group, from Tel Aviv University in Israel. development into accelerator technology, such as plasma acceleration and muon colliders. The main objective of any post-LHC endeavor will be to look for new particles or phenomena that go beyond the standard Following a two-year-long process, the European Strategy for model of particle physics.

  • Deliberation Document on the 2020 Update European Strategy
    DELIBERATION DOCUMENT ON THE 2020 UPDATE OF THE EUROPEAN STRATEGY FOR PARTICLE PHYSICS The European Strategy Group _Preface The first European Strategy for Particle Physics (hereinafter referred to as “the Strategy”), consisting of seventeen Strategy statements, was adopted by the CERN Council at its special session in Lisbon in July 2006. A first update of the Strategy was adopted by the CERN Council at its special session in Brussels in May 2013. This second update of the Strategy was formulated by the European Strategy Group (ESG) (Annex 1) during its six-day meeting in Bad Honnef in January 2020. The resolution on the 2020 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics was adopted at the 199th Session of the CERN Council on 19 June 2020. The ESG was assisted by the Physics Preparatory Group (Annex 2), which had provided scientific input based on the material presented at a four-day Open Symposium held in Granada in May 2019, and on documents submitted by the community worldwide. In addition, six working groups (Annex 3) were set up within the ESG to address the following points: Social and career aspects for the next generation; Issues related to Global Projects hosted by CERN or funded through CERN outside Europe; Relations with other groups and organisations; Knowledge and Technology Transfer; Public engagement, Education and Communication; Sustainability and Environmental impact. Their conclusions were discussed at the Bad Honnef meeting. This Deliberation Document was prepared by the Strategy Secretariat. It provides background information underpinning the Strategy statements. Recommendations to the CERN Council made by the Working Groups for possible modifications to certain organisational matters are also given.

  • Power for Modern Detectors
    I NTERNAT I ONAL J OURNAL OF H I G H - E NERGY P H YS I CS CERNCOURIER WELCOME V OLUME 5 8 N UMBER 9 N O V EMBER 2 0 1 8 CERN Courier – digital edition Welcome to the digital edition of the November 2018 issue of CERN Courier. Physics through Explaining the strong interaction was one of the great challenges facing theoretical physicists in the 1960s. Though the correct solution, quantum photography chromodynamics, would not turn up until early the next decade, previous attempts had at least two major unintended consequences. One is electroweak theory, elucidated by Steven Weinberg in 1967 when he realised that the massless rho meson of his proposed SU(2)xSU(2) gauge theory was the photon of electromagnetism. Another, unleashed in July 1968 by Gabriele Veneziano, is string theory. Veneziano, a 26-year-old visitor in the CERN theory division at the time, was trying “hopelessly” to copy the successful model of quantum electrodynamics to the strong force when he came across the idea – via a formula called the Euler beta function – that hadrons could be described in terms of strings. Though not immediately appreciated, his 1968 paper marked the beginning of string theory, which, as Veneziano describes 50 years later, continues to beguile physicists. This issue of CERN Courier also explores an equally beguiling idea, quantum computing, in addition to a PET scanner for clinical and fundamental-physics applications, the internationally renowned Beamline for Schools competition, and the growing links between high-power lasers (the subject of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics) and particle physics.

Overview This document begins with a brief report on EPPCN-wide activities, followed by details of the work of CERN’s Education, Communications and Outreach (IR-ECO) group, before moving on to reports of network activity by country. It covers the period from August 2019 to July 2020. Country reports for Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, Serbia and Sweden were not received for the period concerned. 2. Status of the network Regarding the representation of the Member States in the EPPCN network, the positions for Belgium and Denmark remain vacant. The EPPCN representatives for Portugal, Romania and the United Kingdom changed during this period. 3. EPPCN-wide activities Communication on the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics An EPPCN working group was set up in October 2019 to prepare and implement a communications plan for the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPPU). This working group was led by CERN’s Head of Education, Communications and Outreach (ECO), and included EPPCN members representing ECO and several EPPCN members. The Working Group worked closely with the CERN Council President, the Scientific Secretary of the European Strategy Group and the CERN Director-General to develop communication resources on the ESPPU, particularly in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
