Featuring Steve Myers and the status of LHC, the Spokespersons of the LHC experiments and their highlights, physicists queuing for the Presidential speech, Nicolas Sarkozy at ICHEP, the new Tevatron Higgs combination. Have fun. […]Scienza

Saturdaysessions were not really well attended. if we exclude the one on CP violation, CKM and Rare Decays that succeed in packing a lot of people in one of the smaller rooms. Maybe the average ICHEP participant decided to make the grasse matinee, or simply to be a tourist in the City of Light […]
ICHEP Day 2: Higgs at Tevatron, Higgs at LHC, Higgs on the BBC
Fridayafternoon I sat again in a relatively packed room for the Higgs session. The effect of the rumor seems to fade away, but there is still quite a buzz around the Tevatron Higgs searches, especially because our friends are professionally distilling their results at a tantalizing pace, and - in case you missed that - […]
Gadgets!
Theremust be some secret competition among the organizers of different conferences, aiming to to invent the most fancy gadget to offer the participants. While probably the organizers sincerely put some effort in this conference gadget business, reality is that the average participant rarely uses them, and often tosses them to dust in a remote angle […]
ICHEP Day 1: ATLAS and CMS electrons and photons, and some Tevatron Higgs searches
Imostly kept my program.Mostly, because I arrived slightly late at the Palais des Congres for the afternoon session (the French waitress at the creperie just in front of the Saint Paul church was so slow...): Salle 252B was already so packed I was not able to enter, and I decided to head […]
In partenza per ICHEP
Sessioni parallele
ICHEP è una conferenza enorme, e con enorme intendo dire che ci saranno più di mille partecipanti, e moooolte presentazioni. La soluzione tipica per gestire un sacco di contributi in una grande conferenza è tenere sessioni parallele: interventi che appartengono a “traccie” differenti sono raggruppati insieme, e presentati in sale diverse allo stesso orario. […]Parallel sessions
ICHEP is a huge conference, and with huge I mean there will more than a thousand participants, and a loooot of presentations. The standard way to pack a lot of contributions in a huge conference is to hold parallel sessions: talks belonging to different "tracks" (read: with an affine subject) are grouped together, and […]
