ALICE3 Preview
ALICE3 Preview 12 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Kevin Buffet and Arturo Tauro EA has been contributing to the ALICE experiment by building CAD models of all equipment in their cavern (UX25). We first inherited a CAD model of the LS1 configuration in 2017, then created the current LS2 configuration, and have already prepared the LS3

The Water Cherenkov Test Experiment
The Water Cherenkov Test Experiment 8 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Dipanwita Banerjee, Philippe Boisseaux-Burgeois, Aboubakr Ebn Rahmoun ad Roman Folch Neutrinos are the most abundant, tiny, neutral, and elementary particles in the universe with mass so small that no one has been able to measure it yet. Theorists first predicted the neutrino’s existence in 1930

An East & North Areas teaser
An East & North Areas teaser 5 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Markus Brugger Our accelerator complex is a succession of machines that accelerate particles to increasingly higher energies, each stage boosting the energy of a beam of particles before injecting it into the next machine in the sequence. For protons it starts with the Linac4.

What experiment to run in ECN3 after LS3?
What experiment to run in ECN3 after LS3? 4 DECEMBER, 2023 | By Johannes Bernhard and Lau Gatignon In the context of the Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) study, new ideas were solicited for experiments complementary to the ones at high-energy colliders. ECN3 is the only underground cavern in the North Area, where the highest intensities
