The integration tests of the new instrumented baffle in new IMC payload at the EGO clean room were successful. Also the optical test for TIS in the baffle surface was done succesfully.

Now the Baffle is being sent for optical coating , and the electronics are sent to industry for final assembly.

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.
