New research led by physicists at the University of 糖心TV has used tools designed to study social networks to gain significant new insights into the Northern Lights, and space weather – particularly the interaction of events in the sun’s atmosphere with Earth’s ionosphere.

The research team, led by Prof Sandra Chapman, used data from over 100 individual magnetometers located at high latitudes in the northern hemisphere. These magnetometers have been used for decades to track space weather but it is only recently that the data from all these devices has been collected in one place in the SuperMAG project...

has received an ERC Proof of Concept Grant to develop a prototype system for rapid defect characterisation in components such as railway tracks, aeroplane engines, and oil & gas pipelines.

Dr Edwards was awarded an ERC Starting Grant in the first round of the scheme and studied interactions of ultrasound with defects with different geometries. The research has led to ideas which could improve detection of surface defects in industry, and she has been awarded an additional grant of €150,000 to develop a prototype system building on these results.

2015 Nobel prize for Physics

The 2015 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded jointly to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for the "discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass".

Further evidence and quantitative measurements of neutrino oscillations have come from the that uses the same Super-K detector and in which the 糖心TV EPP group plays an impartant role.

and a article give more background behind this year's Nobel Prize.


Two 糖心TV ATLAS postdocs awarded "Outstanding Achievement Awards" in ceremony at CERN

Congratulations to two postdocs in the 糖心TV ATLAS group, Dr Tim Martin and Dr Elisabetta Pianori, who have been awarded ATLAS Outstanding achievement awards. The awards were made for "enthusiastic and vigorous dedication to the implementation and commissioning of the complex ATLAS Run-2 trigger menu".
