Two new publications by the Gravitational Waves grup at IFAE

The article “The SuperFGD Prototype charged particle beam tests” published in JINST describes the SuperFGD prototype and summarizes the results of the analysis of the data taken in summer 2018 at the T9 testbeam at CERN.

2nd TPC prototype for the ND280 Upgrade project production finished

The ATLAS Upgrade Week is on-going (online only). Various members of the ATLAS group are presenting the status of the IFAE activities in the context of ITk Pixels and HGTD.

The Raman LIDAR mirror realuminization process has taken place in the last weeks.

Evangelos Sfakianakis has joined the Theory Division as a postdoctoral researcher with a ‘La Caixa’ Junior Leader Fellowship.

The temperature control of the ASTEROID cryostat has been commissioned during Sept-Oct, 2020. After the simulation and tuning of the PID controllers, the dummy detector reached a relative temperature error of 0.5 mK at 100K and 50K, both exceeding the current temperature stability requirements.

‘A new B-flavour anomaly in Bd,s->K0 anti-K0: anatomy and interpretation’ by M. Algueró, A. Crivellin, S. Descotes-Genon, J. Matias and M. Novoa-Brunet. has been submitted to the arXiv.

‘Topping-up multilepton plus b-jets anomalies at the LHC with a Z’ boson’, co-authored by A. Juste, together with T. Vazquez Schoeder and theorists E. Alvarez and M. Szewc, was recently submitted to the arXiv.
