Esperimento sui neutrini torna in vita
Buone notizie dal progetto di esperimento sui neutrini "T2K" in Giappone: ha ripreso a raccogliere dati alla fine dell'anno scorso dopo un ampio aggiornamento del fascio di neutrini e del rivelatore vicino. Il rivelatore vicino è saldamente nelle mani degli istituti svizzeri - l'Università di Ginevra e l'ETH Zurigo. Federico Sánchez dell'Università di Ginevra fornisce un aggiornamento su ciò che è successo e su cosa possiamo aspettarci.

The planners of the future are ready to go
The international particle physics hub CERN in Geneva has big plans for the future. Literally. While its current flagship, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is scheduled to continue data taking until the 2040s, the international community of particle physics is already busy conceiving potential follow-up projects to complement the discoveries made at the LHC.

È la stagione per fare esperimenti!
Aggiungi alla lista della spesa: qualche pezzo di gesso, un selciato, dodici bastoncini di cotone, 50 grammi di pepe in polvere, un tubo di compresse effervescenti, nastro adesivo...

Antihydrogen: check! GBAR completes key step in antimatter research
Positrons: in their cloud. Antiprotons: generated. Deceleration: achieved. Mixing: check! The antimatter experiment GBAR has just published a paper in which it reports on their first detected antihydrogen atoms. This is a key step towards the ultimate goal of antimatter research: finding a reason for the asymmetry between matter and antimatter.

New flavour for Basel
Today we would like you to meet one of the University of Basel’s latest additions in the sciences: tenure-track Assistant Professor Admir Greljo. He joined the university’s physics department in spring and has brought lots of plans and ideas in his luggage. Find out how a childhood in a war influenced his career and how he hopes to solve the mystery of the different flavours in particle physics …

Order through kaons
The inventory of Swiss particle physics has just opened a new register for a new kind of research: thanks to EPFL assistant professor Radoslav Marchevski, it can add kaon physics to its list. The Bulgarian scientist, who did his undergraduate studies in Sofia, Bulgaria and his graduate studies in Mainz, Germany, joined the ranks of Swiss academia at the beginning of the year and brought his specialty particle with him.

First sighting of neutrinos from a collider collision
It’s a first in the world of physics: the FASER and SND@LHC experiments at CERN have seen first ever confirmed evidence of a neutrino produced in a particle collision at a collider. Both experiments specialise in weakly interacting particles to look for as yet unknown physics phenomena, and scientists hope that this new result will ultimately lead to a better understanding of neutrinos themselves, and with that to a range of open questions in particle physics.
