Uncle Scrooge discovers particle physics
Sometimes it takes a simple idea to get science concepts into children’s minds. When the world was in lockdown and parents everywhere juggled home schooling their kids, getting their own work done and keeping everybody happy and healthy, scientist Luigi Marchese thought back to his own childhood and had an idea. Why not combine what he loved as a child – reading comic books, especially the Italian “Topolino” magazine featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and co – and what he does as an adult – doing particle physics at the CMS detector – to keep kids edutained?

Behind the Scenes of the Large Hadron Collider Upgrade
The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, is a huge accelerator used by several detector collaborations with over 10,000 scientists to advance our understanding of fundamental physics. While we often cover news like the measurement of new particles or the precise determination of fundamental constants, today we would like to focus on the less visible work needed for the LHC detectors to function. We are speaking with Dr. Silke Möbius, a postdoctoral researcher, and Camilla Tognina, an electrical engineer, who are developing a read-out system for the new inner detector (Inner Tracker) of the ATLAS experiment. This project started in 2018 in the group of Professor Michele Weber at the University of Bern and involved in total 37 people at the various stages of the project.
