After nearly two decades of operation, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at CERN (Geneva), will conclude data-taking for its current programme at the end of June. Since its launch in 2008, this accelerator has become the most powerful tool ever built for studying the fundamental structure of matter. During this time, the collider has delivered 54 thousand trillion proton-proton collisions to each of the ATLAS and CMS experiments, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 540 femtobarns — almost double what was envisaged when the machine was designed.
Ana Cueto was awarded the Guido Altarelli Award for her experimental research on final-state photons, and for advancing in effective field theory interpretations, precision tests of QCD and the Standard Model.
Violeta González Pérez from CIAFF, and Santiago Ávila, who did his PhD in our department, have been talking about the very early Universe at "La Rosa de los vientos", Onda Cero (the interview is in Spanish):
Violeta González-Pérez is one of the authors of a new article named '¿Qué le ocurrió al universo desde el Big Bang hasta que nació la luz?' has been published in The Conversation (ISSN 2201-5639).

Nadir Samos has started working at CIAFF as new visiting professor in the Quantum Technologies group.
Four projects under the Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2024 call have been awarded to seven CIAFF principal investigators from the areas of astrophysics and cosmology, experimental particle physics, and nuclear physics.
Following the results of the recent elections, Luis Robledo is officially appointed as the new Director of CIAFF, succeeding Jose del Peso in this role.
In the coming days, the new Scientific Secretary, who will replace Samuel Giuliani, will also be announced by the new Director.
The CIAFF warmly congratulates Luis and whishes him a successful and productive term as Director.
