Baikal-GVD project 2019
Two new clusters of optical modules of the Baikal deep underwater neutrino telescope, Baikal-GVD, were put into operation. The effective volume of the facility, which already includes five clusters, increased to 0.25 km3.
The International Physicists’ Tournament continues
The 11th edition of the International Physicists’ Tournament (IPT) came to end at EPFL in Switzerland later April, with France represented by École polytechnique taking the winners Swiss fondue pot home! The IPT presents students with opportunities beyond just winning competition, from being able to travel to other countries, expanding their academic and social network to developing transferable skills which may not otherwise be developed during a typical undergraduate physics course.
Astronomers capture first image of a black hole
ESO, ALMA, and APEX contribute to paradigm-shifting observations of the gargantuan black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87.
ASTRI-Horn is first Cherenkov telescope in dual-mirror configuration to detect the Crab Nebula at TeV energies
Exactly 30 years after the first historical observation of Crab nebula at TeV energies, which opened the era of TeV astronomy with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT), another advancement in IACT technology has been achieved. The ASTRI-Horn Cherenkov Telescope, based on the innovative Schwarzschild-Couder dual-mirror configuration and equipped with an innovative camera, has detected the Crab Nebula at TeV energies for the first time, proving the viability of this technology.
