CERN brings together key stakeholders in global health On 25 October, CERN held the Workshop on #GlobalHealth in partnership with the Geneva Health Forum. The main goal of the workshop was to explore potential solutions to some of the world’s most pressing global health challenges, fostering the co-development of research ideas among professionals from diverse sectors. Join the public webinar on 26 November to discover the outcomes of the workshop. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dajNTaJi

CMS develops a new AI algorithm to detect anomalies Researchers at the CMS Collaboration have deployed an innovative #MachineLearning technique to improve the data quality of one of the detector’s most crucial components. This new approach promises to make the detection of data anomalies more accurate and efficient. Such real-time capability is essential in the fast-paced #LHC environment for quick detection and correction of detector issues, improving the overall data quality.

Are you thinking of applying for the CERN openlab 2025 summer student programme? Find out more about our programme by listening to the experiences of last year's students 🤗 Hear about Karanjot Singh and Mohammed Touami's thrilling experience with the 2024 CERN openlab Summer Student Programme ⬇ ➡ Karanjot, a student at the Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, had the opportunity to work on the Container Object Storage Interface (COSI) project. COSI is a new standard designed to provision and manage object storage within #Kubernetes environments, similar to how the Container Storage Interface (CSI) handles block and file storage. As organisations increasingly rely on Kubernetes to orchestrate containerised workloads, a robust, vendor-neutral interface for object storage has become paramount. The COSI project aims to fill this gap by providing a dynamic provisioning API that integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes, enabling users to manage object storage resources in a consistent and Kubernetes-native manner. ➡ Mohammed, a student from the Ecole nationale Superieure d'Informatique (ESI), got to work on Generative Neural Network Models for Fast Particle Shower Simulation in Calorimeters for Geant4. The extensive high-energy physics (#HEP) experiments program relies on Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation can be used to test hypotheses regarding the underlying distribution of the data. The need for fast and large-scale simulated samples for HEP experiments motivates the development of new simulation techniques, particularly those based on neural network models. #MachineLearning models are studied mainly in the context of fast shower simulation, as calorimeters are typically the most time-consuming detectors to simulate. Both accuracy and performance must be validated before their implementation in production software. Mohammed's project focused on improving the accuracy of the fast shower simulation, studying the difference between different machine-learning solutions focusing on low-energy particle showers.

2024 is a very special year at Brookhaven Lab, where we're celebrating several milestone anniversaries. Back in October, we celebrated 10 years since #NSLSII's first light, when the first X-rays were delivered to our new synchrotron light source. Now, we're celebrating the anniversaries of two Nobel Prize-winning discoveries at the Lab: 60 years since the discovery of CP violation and 50 years since the discovery of the J/psi particle. In 1964, Princeton University's Val Fitch and James Cronin led a team that discovered a violation of charge conjugation (C) and parity (P) — called “CP violation” — in an experiment at Brookhaven's Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). This was a major flaw in physics' central belief that the universe is symmetrical. Fitch and Cronin were presented with The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1980. In 1974, the J/psi particle was discovered by teams at both Brookhaven Lab and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Samuel C.C. Ting and his team discovered what he called the "J" particle using the AGS at Brookhaven. Burton Richter and his team found the same particle, which he called the "psi," at SLAC. Ting and Richter shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976. We're hosting a celebration to honor these two Nobel Prize-winning discoveries and explore the future of physics. The event, titled "Decades of Discovery at Brookhaven National Laboratory," will be held in-person at Brookhaven Lab (and virtually) on Friday, Nov. 22, from 1 to 6 p.m. EST.

The residency is fully funded and awarded a production stipend of CHF 15,000. 📅 Deadline: 13 December 2024 🔗 Read more and apply: https://lnkd.in/efb4ctDj #artsatcern #copenhagencontemporary #artandscience #opencall

So it begins… the heavy-ion run at the #LHC 💪 Yesterday at 11.13 am, a new #HeavyIon run began at the Large Hadron Collider, smashing together lead ions at an energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair. While the LHC mostly collides protons, once a year it collides heavy ions – such as lead nuclei – a key ingredient for preparing the primordial soup called the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter known to have existed shortly after the #BigBang. For the next 17 days, every minute counts to take lead–lead collision data. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ebGsbCXF ALICE Collaboration ATLAS Collaboration CMS Collaboration LHCb Collaboration
