Particle physics at CERN requires large-scale equipment. 2,000 silicon modules, each with half a million pixels, will form a new part of the CMS detector. 💫 A PSI research group is coordinating an international consortium for this purpose. www.psi.ch/en/news/psi-...

One thousand modules for CERN

At CERN near Geneva, tiny particles with extremely high energies are blasted at each other to answer big questions about the universe. The detectors that observe the collisions of these particles requ...

Research with muons at PSI is being further strengthened: President Parmelin has approved funding for the NCCR Muoniverse. The improvements will benefit research into quantum materials and superconductors, aid industrial applications, and even provide insights into art history and archaeology.

Muons receive funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation

PSI gets an NCCR: The Muoniverse project will further expand research on the beamlines for elementary particles called muons – at the world’s leading facility for muon beams.

I've created @lhcbpapers.bsky.social, which posts the latest results of @lhcb.bsky.social as soon as they show up on the @cern.bsky.social document server. Also posts to #LHCbPaper and #LHCbconf.

I've added to the CDS Paper Bot (github.com/clelange/cds...) the possibility to also skeet to BlueSky. For CMS, this is now happening at @cmspapers.bsky.social. It will also post to the feeds #CMSPaper and #CMSPAS. FYI @freyablekman.bsky.social @koppenburg.ch (glad to see this is useful for you).

Later today, I'll speak at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 on the topic of "Image Snapshotters for Efficient Container Execution in Particle Physics" --- work done as part of the Open Research Data initiative of the ETH Domain in 🇨🇭: sched.co/1txFV @psich.bsky.social @cern.bsky.social

This workshop/hackathon was a success on multiple levels. Bringing the particle physics, bioinformatics, and HPC communities together to work was also an excellent knowledge exchange opportunity which gave the HEP community lots of new ideas and plans to improve things across the LHC experiments.

Today, the #SnakemakeHackathon2025 at @cern.bsky.social has ended with the release of Snakemake 9.0! Huge thanks to the amazing participants and all organizers! In total there were 19 new releases within the ecosystem, including hundreds of new features and bug fixes for Snakemake and its plugins!

An exciting first day of the #SnakemakeHackathon2025 at @cern.bsky.social is ending now. I have already merged several pull requests and many very productive teams have formed!

Ten years of @cmsexperiment.bsky.social Open Data and since the birth of the @cern.bsky.social Open Data Portal! It's incredibly important to release #OpenData early in the lifetime of an experiment to preserve all the knowledge, learn how to do it in the first place, and really make them usable.

CMS Experiment at CERN@cmsexperiment.bsky.social · 2y ago

CMS celebrates 10 years of Open Data! 🎉 Making real collision data public revolutionised particle physics research. A decade later, CMS remains committed to transparency. 🗞️Read more: cms.cern/news/cms-cel... #CMSExperiment#CERN#ParticlePhysics#LHC#OpenData#Research#Science

Particle physicists rely heavily on statistics in our research; we deal with large amounts of data. The Combine tool in CMS is the go-to statistical tool for CMS. #CMSPaper 1303 describes Combine using the statistics of the Higgs boson discovery 👉 buff.ly/3ywtCPz

📢 CMS just released a massive amount of real data from 2016 proton-proton collisions! Over 70 TB of data and 830 TB of simulations are now accessible for anyone to explore. Read more about the largest 13 TeV dataset released by any experiment: cms.cern/news/cms-rel... #CERN #opendata #science#stem
