Ambitious #science and definitely particle physics are almost always a #team effort. This is also true for conferences. Here you see Pedro (Portugal), Azwinndini (South Africa), Kate (UK), Sandra (Brazil), and friends, together we presently are organising a track at the #ichep2026 conference

A connection of mine is editing a book on Science and Sustainability. They need more data on views by early career scientists so made a survey. In case you are an ecr and this interests you, please complete the survey at forms.gle/K5AJSbuCsKdR... #sustainability #science #earlycareerscientists

Sustainability research

Survey of Attitudes and Commitments. The purpose of this survey is to gauge public perception of sustainable development concepts.

This week I’m at a conference. Physics conferences have of course talks about physics, but about much more! For example this morning, I gave a talk about how we run our group Instagram account (and why we do it that way) #ichep2026 particle physics is #openscience so talk is here: indi.to/vjPHb

This time in random gear I found on campus: the monochromator You’ve probably seen a prism split light into a rainbow. X-rays can be split the same way with a crystal monochromator instead of glass. The antique monochromator in this video is a real piece of that history.

Very important work that falls between instrumentation and analysis is what often makes the difference in physics reach 🔥 keep up the good work Kuan!

There are 2 postdoctoral positions opening in the CMS group at DESY, more details here: lnkd.in/evBjrzkt (yes they are in my group) Please don't hesitate to forward this job announcement to suitable candidates.

Great to have high school interns! #wisskomm www.instagram.com/reel/DaDe79A...

Very nice scicomm of one of the recent papers in my group. We checked how the interplay between different collisions energies at future colliders (and which energy/amount of data is best) can help to find, or constrain, axion-like particles.

And quite a lot of nice UHH results there!

👏Well done to all the CMS students and early career researchers who prepared and presented their posters at the June CMS Week👏 Poster presentations and discussions are key in sharing insights into all areas of an experiment involving over 6000 people!

This really nice result has a link to Germany and DESY: one of the leading authors (Sapta Bhattacharya, now professor on ATLAS, in the USA) did this work as a #HumboldtResearchFellow in our group

Three bosons walk onto the stage... CMS explores rare collisions that produce three W or Z bosons at once, searching for unexpected twists that could reveal new physics. 👉 Read the full briefing here: cms.cern/news/looking...

Whoo hoo our team (team “lucky number 13”) made it into the photo collage 😎

🏁Ready, Set, Go!🏁 CMSers raced (but no running!) across the detector site last week during CMS Week to complete a unique treasure hunt and learn about the extensive preparation underway for #HiLumi at CMS! ✨Follow us for more on the journey to High Luminosity at CMS✨

We are celebrating the renewal of our #hamburg #clusterofexcellence #quantumuniverse. With science. And art! And singing physicists !

I love speaking at festivals! Today at Kimiko festival in Aachen. First time the CERN festival programme touches down in Germany 🇩🇪

Ready for some mud and physics at the @kimikofestival as part of the #bigbangcollective. I’m wearing a particularly obscure festival t-shirt. Because I can 👌

How quarks cluster together into hadrons is only partially understood. With heavy quarks it is easier to calculate and measuring bound bottom quark-antiquark pairs is therefor super important to understand this aspect of the strong force. This #CMSPaper measures the Upsilon particles buff.ly/p5QZ00p

Top quarks are usually produced in quark-antiquark pairs, but through the weak interaction, it is possible to create single top quarks too. This #CMSPaper measures one of the single top quark production modes, and provides important input to measure and understand quantum fluctuations inside protons

There are many predictions for undiscovered particles that are similar to the Higgs particle. This #CMSPaper looks for the double whammy: two different undiscovered Higgs-like particles! It is the first time this was done. We didn't see anything but also used limited data arxiv.org/abs/2602.00273

The LHC colllides protons, and protons contain quarks (and gluons). Almost all collisions involve only one quark (or gluon) from each proton, but the super-rare collisions where two particles in the one proton collide simultaneously with two particles in another proton arxiv.org/abs/2602.02770

This is a big one: the #CMSPaper summarising all precise Higgs boson measurements on data collected in 2016, 2017 and 2018. We agree with the standard model prediction for the total number of Higgs bosons, within 5-6% those are still big uncertainties for particle physics) arxiv.org/abs/2602.18611

Guess what… today I’m on a train again, from Hamburg to Geneva as next week is CMS collaboration week. (More about that next week). But noteworthy of my 11 hour trans-European train trip today is that DEUTSCHE BAHN IS RUNNING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. 10 min even. yes very exciting. Hence the all caps.

Most 2026 insult ever to a man tone policer: if you are that sensitive I can install an ai agent especially for you, making sure it translates everything to the way one talks to a little child. good bot and happy manchild?

Tonight (well hopefully soon) I am taking the sleeper train from Stockholm to Hamburg. It is not starting well. We are already delayed even before departing. Something about one of the cars not completely working #trains

You have another chance to see the (may I say: excellent!) science-related short films on the walls of the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld campus (aka DESY/UHH campus) on 5 June. #AWallIsAScreen after all awallisascreen.com And yes, there will also be science! On walls :)

Imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t belong. It often means the opposite, that you care deeply about what you do. I asked my colleagues to join me, because many of the most accomplished, world-leading scientists have felt like “frauds” at times. #academia #impostersyndrome #physics

To accurately reconstruct all particles in LHC collision, CMS uses a technique called "Particle Flow". This #CMSPaper shows how the newest, #machinelearning based particle flow algorithm performs in recent data and how well it does at rejecting extra uninteresting collisions arxiv.org/abs/2601.17554

This #CMSPaper measures interactions between photons and Z bosons (quantum particles of electromagnetism and weak force). And measures if there are effects that explain why our universe contains more matter than antimatter. It's the most sensitive result for that signature arxiv.org/abs/2601.14102

If you are a theoretical physicist this might be of interest: Theory Hub for Future Circular Collider e+e- Physics indico.mitp.uni-mainz.de/event/471/ I’m particularly impressed with the support by the German funding agency:if you work in theory in Germany this workshop is paid for you!
