Image: the High Granularity Timing Detector and where it will fit within ATLAS. (Credit: ATLAS collaboration) Last week, I travelled to Lyon to give an overview of the status of the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) upgrade project for the leaders of the IN2P3 (the French particle and nuclear physics institute). For each majorContinue reading “What it takes to build a detector”

Analysis Preservation: sharing best practice between experiments
Today I had the pleasure of giving a talk in the general meeting of the LHCb collaboration — something which is unusual for a member of the ATLAS collaboration! Large scientific collaborations need to have private spaces where they can discuss away from the scrutiny of other experimentalists and theorists. There are some things whichContinue reading “Analysis Preservation: sharing best practice between experiments”
Long lived particles and their friends: a new step in the search programme
An ATLAS paper I’ve been working on for about 2-3 years hit the arXiv today: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.09168Just in time for the big ICHEP conference (the biggest conference in particle physics) which takes place in Prague from Wednesday this week! It is a follow-up to my previous search for pairs of exotic long-lived particles (see Searching forContinue reading “Long lived particles and their friends: a new step in the search programme”
