Did you guess Elisabeth’s profession? Elisabeth works in the LHCb Experiment, which investigates the difference between matter and #antimatter by studying the so-called "beauty quark", or "b quark" particle. The LHCb detector is 21 metres long, 10 metres high and 13 metres








Our feature in the CERN Courier is out: Patrick Koppenburg and Marco Pappagallo survey the 23 exotic hadrons discovered at the LHC so far. cerncourier.com/a/a-bestiary-o…





Talking about good news: the Atlas group at National Institute for Subatomic Physics Nikhef just heard from NWO Funding that we received funding for our ENW-XL proposal aimed at studying di-Higgs boson production to study the Higgs potential. PI is Pamela Ferrari NWO-website with all projects: nwo.nl/en/news/64-mil…




Here we see LHCb Experiment’s Vertex Locator (VELO). This pixel detector, with its millions of microscopic pixels, can recreate particles’ trajectories at an unprecedented speed of 40 million times per second. The VELO is located only 3 millimetres from the LHCb collision point.
