ONGOING AND UPCOMING EVENTS
- ALICE Underground Guide: To get (re-)qualified as ALICE Underground Guide for the forthcoming visits period during the YETS there are still places available in two training sessions on 6 and 8 December 2022. You can inscribe at https://lms.cern.ch. If the two dates does not suit you, get inscribed on the waiting list and you will be invited for the next training sessions planned in Janary and February 2023.
- ALICE Mini Week: 12-16 December 2022
NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Recent PhDs in ALICE. Congratulations to our new Doctor:
- Dr. Simon Voigt Nesbø
Thesis title: “Readout Electronics for the Upgraded ITS Detector in the ALICE Experiment”
Western Norway of Applied Sciences (Norway)
Presented on: June 3, 2022.
Supervisors: Dr. Johan Alme, Prof. Dieter Röhrich, Prof. Helstrup Haavard
CDS: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2840878 (CERN-THESIS-2022-197)
Service Task: "Detailed characterisation of clock and trigger distribution network for the LS2 upgrade of the ALICE ITS detector"
- Dr. Simon Voigt Nesbø
- First lead-ion collisions in the LHC at record energy (18-19 Nov 2022): News in home.cern and ALICE Website.
- Laser Pointer ban in Switzerland: On 1 June 2019, Switzerland introduced a ban on the import, possession and use of laser pointers on Swiss soil, with the exception of Class 1 laser pointers (with a conforming label stuck on) which are authorised for use in making presentations. In case of doubt, do not to bring a laser pointer through the airport!
All CERN contributors who use laser pointers are requested to comply immediately with this legislation. Those who fail to do so risk criminal prosecution under Swiss law.
- ALICE new public website goes online: alice.cern
- A ten-year journey through the quark–gluon plasma and beyond: ArXiv link
The ALICE experiment takes stock of its first decade of quantum chromodynamics studies at the Large Hadron Collider.
- ALICE collaboration submits updates to the letter of intent for ALICE 3: Letter of intent for ALICE 3: A next-generation heavy-ion experiment at the LHC.
