    PRESS RELEASE IN OCCASION OF THE START OF O3 Embargoed until March 26 – 3.00pm CET = 7.00 am Pacific time GRAVITATIONAL WAVE DETECTORS JOIN FORCES FOR A NEW YEAR-LONG SIGNAL HUNT Cascina (Pisa, Italy) - The Virgo and LIGO detectors are ready to start the new Observing run called O3, lasting a whole year. The hunt for gravitational waves is set to start on April 1st when the European Virgo detector, based in Italy at the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), and the LIGO twin detectors, located in the state of Washington and Louisiana (USA), will start to take data becoming together the most sensitive gravitational wave observatory to date. During a one-year period the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations will register science data continuously, and the three detectors will operate as a global observatory. Since August 2017, the end of the second observation run O2, the two collaborations have intensively worked on their interferometers to improve the sensitivity and reliability. Scientists have also improved their offline and online data analysis and developed further the procedures for releasing Open Public Alerts: these will within minutes notify the physics and astronomy community when a potential gravitational-wave event is observed. “With our three detectors now operational at a significantly improved sensitivity, the global LIGO-Virgo detector network is expected to make several new detections. Moreover it will allow precise triangulation of the sources of gravitational waves. This will be an important step towards our quest of multi-messenger astronomy”, says Jo van den Brand of Nikhef (the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics) and VU University Amsterdam, who is the spokesperson for the Virgo collaboration.

  • 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.

Introduction Planning for the development of a 3rd generation global gravitational-wave detector array is a multifaceted and complex effort that will necessarily need a high level of community input. Interfacing to extant and new stakeholders in the broader scientific constituencies is absolutely necessary to, first, keep them aware of the activities taking place in the ground-based gravitational-wave community and, second, receive input to inform and evolve the planning. The Community Networking Subcommittee within the GWIC 3G Planning Committee is charged with organizing and facilitating communications between 3rd generation projects and the relevant scientific communities.

  • Long Base-Line Neutrino Oscillation Beams and Experiments
    481 LONG BASE-LINE NEUTRINO OSCILLATION BEAMS AND EXPERIMENTS Stavros Katsanevas University of Athens 104 Solonos, GR-106 80 Athens. Abstract Strong interest has recently been shown in very long base-line neutrino beams1 directed at existing or planned massivedetector facilities, in order to extend the search forneutrino oscil­ lations. There are currently proposed experiments in the U.S, Japan and Europe. Among such possibilities are beams from CERN pointing towards the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory in Italy and the NESTOR Underwater Laboratory in the Ionian Sea off the west coast of the Peloponnese. After a brief review of the long baseline beam possibilities in the U.S and Japan, the basic parameters of a CERN beam are studied. A number of possible configurations cov­ ering a range of neutrino energy bands are studied and estimates of the neutrino fluxes, event rates and backgrounds at typical detectors are reported. A neutrino oscillation search down to limits of sin2 0.01 and could be made with currently proposed detectors. 20 � �m2 � O.OOleV2 482 1 Introduction The relatively old idea of a long baselineaccelerator beam pointing to a detector located tens to hundreds of kilometers away hasevolved from the phase of first estimations [l] to that of realistic designs and detailed proposals [2]. Further, results of the KAMIOKANDE, !MB, and SOUDAN [3] collaborations suggest that perhaps as much as 40 % of the atmospheric v" events in the energy range from 0.2-1.5 GeV have oscillated to some other type of neutrino. On then other hand, FREJUS [4] did not record any effect.

  • Theory for Non-Accelerator Particle Physics
    Theory for non-accelerator particle physics Subir Sarkar University of Oxford PPAP meeting, University of Birmingham, 15 July 2009 … significant overlap in physics priorities with the Particle Astrophysics Panel (PAAP) e.g. the following were the key questions addressed by ApPEC, the Astroparticle Physics European Coordination committee What is the universe made of? Do protons last for ever? What are the properties of neutrinos … and their role in cosmic evolution? What can neutrinos tell us about the interior of the Sun and Earth, and about supernova explosions? What is the origin of cosmic rays? How does the sky look at extreme energies? What is the nature of gravity? Can we detect gravitational waves? What can they tell us about violent cosmic processes? Since neutrino physics has been discussed already, I will focus on dark matter & nucleon decay courtesey: Stavros Katsanevas What are the fundamental conservation laws in Nature? “One is tempted to conclude that the only fundamental conservation laws left in physics are the gauge symmetries: Lorentz invariance and SU(3)✕ SU(2)✕ U(1). But then what about baryon and lepton conservation? They appear to be exact and unbroken, but they are surely not exact unbroken gauge symmetries, because we do not see the effects of a long-range vector field coupled to baryon or lepton number. The peculiar position of baryon and lepton conservation in today’s physics suggests that baryon and lepton conservation may go the way of the other non- gauge symmetries, and turn out to be only approximate consequences
