I strongly recommend starting the CERN tour with the 13 minute film (right at the top of the stairs)(I started with a scientific exhibition, and, despite the very good scientific dissemination efforts that are made in the rooms, given the level of research that takes place at CERN, we ...
Back in 2015, American startup MegaBots Inc challenged Japanese company Suidobashi to a Giant Robot Duel–a knock-down dragout, totally-not-staged fight between the US and Japanese robot teams. On Tuesday night, the final fight went down. Here’s the breakdown, starting with Round 1: Iron...
as outlined by the CERN poster, which points out that ”Currently, most of the LHC’s worldwide distributed CPU budget — in the range of half a million CPU-years equivalent — is dedicated to simulation.” Speeding up the most time-consuming simulation tasks (e.g., high-granularity calori...
Here, the basic idea is to organise quantum fluctuations according to their momentum and integrate-out these fluctuations, starting from the most energetic ones and proceeding towards lower energy modes. This creates what is called the Wilsonian renormalisation-group “flow” of a theory. Healthy ...
The technology was released outside CERN to other research institutions starting in January 1991, and then– with the publication ofthis (likely the first public) web page— to the whole Internet 32 years ago today. Within the next two years,there were 50 websites created. (Today, while it...
The second team was just starting to present its evidence before a packed auditorium, where scientists broke into applause intermittently. Fabiola Gianotti, leader of the second team of some 3,000 scientists, known as ATLAS, said it also has observed some "beautiful" events in CERN's atom smas...
who had moved to Rome for two years. The group obtained important results on which the bases of the physical theory of complexity rest and also wrote a book on these results. In 1988 Virasoro became passionate about studying how, starting from neural networks, we can understand the functioning...
Data with stable beams were delivered starting on 3 June 2015: one week with nominal optics ("squeeze" β*=80 cm and up to 40 colliding bunches), one week devoted to collecting data at low pileup (number of collisions per bunch crossing μ=0.01 to 0.03) with events triggered by ATLAS ...
Some tips for writing a successful internship essay for CERN include starting early, reflecting on your experience and growth, providing specific examples and evidence, and proofreading for grammar and spelling errors. It is also helpful to have someone else read and provide feedback on your essay...
(starting October 2008), albeit at a level lower than the $60 m originally promised for FY2008. Here the problem is how to cope with the loss of people over the coming months, as there is no funding left to support them in the current budget. Where it hurts most, says Barish, is ...
