Dark Matter makes up a quarter of the universe and is five times more abundant than normal matter such as neutrons, protons, electrons and neutrinos. Without it, galaxies would fall apart, and stars would spin off into space. Yet we have not…

AWAKE is an accelerator R&D experiment. In the coming years the AWAKE experiment should pave the way to understanding the physics and potential of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for future accelerators. Over the last fifty years,…

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed e+e- collider to be built at CERN in order to serve the needs of the particle physics community beyond the high-luminosity LHC. The accelerator is foreseen to be built in several stages,…

2015 has been extraordinary: after 2 years of shutdown (LS-1) the LHC and its experiments have come back into operation for a new exciting running period (Run-2) to push the research about the infinitely small structure of matter, related…

After the Long Shutdown of 2013 and 2014, LHCb started to take data this year and collected during this year 320 pb-1 of proton-proton collisions at the center of mass energy of 13 TeV. The detector was almost identical to the one used during Run 1…

One of PH/ESE’s flagship projects is the Radiation Hard Optical Link project for LHC, a common development for all LHC experiments and other interested collaborations. The objective of the project is to supply experiments with a radiation hard…

The last edition of this letter ended with the optimistic remark that CMS after the end of LS1 would be perfectly prepared for the exciting times ahead of us. And indeed the final steps of LS1 went smoothly with CMS ready for the first beams. In…

Last May, the newsletter reported about the two-month pilot run of 2014 and how NA62 was preparing for the 2015 data taking:  this became reality for five months between mid-June and mid-November, an exciting but exhausting period for our…

MoEDAL is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing avatars of new physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles. Its physics program defines over 34 scenarios that yield potentially…
