The Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) is the bottom-up organisation of Swiss particle and astroparticle physics researchers in Switzerland as a legal entity of Swiss law. CHIPP is tasked with coordinating the national efforts in the realm of particle and astroparticle physics.
This is achieved by keeping a continuous dialogue between the particle physicists of different cantonal universities and federal institutes. CHIPP is recognized as the representative of Swiss particle physics both nationally and internationally. It awards yearly a Prize to a PhD student, supports workshops and conferences, organises PhD schools, and develops outreach projects.

Neutrino experiment comes back to life
Good news from the “T2K” neutrino experiment project in Japan: it has started taking data again at the end of last year after an extensive upgrade of its neutrino beam and the near detector. The near detector is very firmly in the hands of Swiss institutes – University of Geneva and ETH Zurich. Federico Sánchez from the University of Geneva gives an update of what has happened and what we can expect.

The planners of the future are ready to go
The international particle physics hub CERN in Geneva has big plans for the future. Literally. While its current flagship, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is scheduled to continue data taking until the 2040s, the international community of particle physics is already busy conceiving potential follow-up projects to complement the discoveries made at the LHC.

Antihydrogen: check! GBAR completes key step in antimatter research
Positrons: in their cloud. Antiprotons: generated. Deceleration: achieved. Mixing: check! The antimatter experiment GBAR has just published a paper in which it reports on their first detected antihydrogen atoms. This is a key step towards the ultimate goal of antimatter research: finding a reason for the asymmetry between matter and antimatter.

CHIPP Prize 2023: On a course to discovery
This year’s CHIPP prizewinner Anne-Mazarine Lyon hunts for signs of new physics in the form of supersymmetric particles and heavy neutrinos.
