The Higgs 2020 conference is taking place online this week. A new ATLAS result of the associated production of ttbar with a Higgs boson decaying into bbar is presented, probing the CP properties of the Top-Higgs Yukawa coupling. Several IFAE members have contributed into this analysis.

Stefano Terzo participated last week in a testbeam experiment at DESY, Hamburg measuring highly irradiated 3D pixel modules for the ATLAS upgrade at LH-LHC. The preliminary analysis of the data show a promising performance of these detectors even at large radiation doses.

Sebastián Grinstein presented the ALTAS High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) project at the Vertex 2020 (online) conference.

The ATLAS Collaboration week is taking place online this week. Several members of the IFAE-ATLAS team are attending and Ilya Korolkov is presenting the status of the Tile Calorimeter for the Phase-II upgrade

The ATLAS Higgs and Top (HTop) workshop is taking place online this week. Several members of the IFAE ATLAS group are attending it.

Aurelio Juste is starting his position as convener of the ATLAS Exotics Working Group on October 1st 2020.The group is composoed of 800 members. The position will last for 2 years.

The ATLAS Exotics+SUSY Workshop 2020 is taking place online this week. Several members of the IFAE-ATLAS team are attending.

The ATLAS physics and performance Week is taking place online this week. Various members of the IFAE ATLAS team are attending it and giving talks.

Last week, the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector passed the LHCC/UCG reviews. The IFAE ATLAS Pixels group is playing a leading role in sensors (LGADs, with CNM), hybridization, module assembly and ASIC design. The group is also participating in several management positions.
