NuPECC Brochure “Light to Reveal the Heart of Matter”
NuPECC, the Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (http://www.nupecc.org/) is contributing to the International Year of Light [IYL2015] with a brochure “Light to Reveal the Heart of Matter”.
We would like to show the many facets how the electromagnetic spectrum – light in its broadest sense – is featured in nuclear physics research, from high-energy gamma-rays down to scintillation light and lasers, looking into nucleons and nuclei, and connecting to other fields such as astrophysics and medicine.
Higgs boson: the winner takes it all?
This article is a republication from the CERN Bulletin. Since its discovery in 2012, the Higgs boson has been in the spotlight for both experimentalists and theorists. In addition to its confirmed role in the mass mechanism, recent papers have discussed its possible role in the inflation of the universe and in the matter-antimatter imbalance.

1st Altmetrics Conference
At the end of September, the conference “1:AM Altmetrics” was held at the premises of the Wellcome trust in London, UK. The subject of the meeting was new developments in article metrics, and in the evaluation of science, scientists and science publications. The participants included a range of different stakeholders in scholarly publishing, notably publishers, funding agencies and companies and institutions involved in evaluation and dissemination of science. Relatively few scientists and representatives from learned societies attended.
UK STFC launches new newsletter from CERN
The UK Science and Technology Facilities Council [STFC] has launched a new newsletter at CERN, entitled “UK News from CERN”. The fortnightly publication – which is now in its fourth issue – intends to relay British news from CERN back to the UK and is aimed at both researchers and key stakeholders in the government.
The first four issues of the newsletter can be downloaded…
ENLIGHT publishes tenth anniversary Highlights
The European Network for Light ion Hadron Therapy [ENLIGHT] has published a tenth anniversary newsletter. The anniversary publication – entitled Highlights – details the progress of the various European Union funded hadron therapy projects which have been launched under the ENLIGHT program.
Launched in 2002, ENLIGHT aims to coordinate European efforts in hadron therapy. It is made up of a partnership of over 300 participants from across 20 different countries, from such diverse backgrounds as…
ICAN launches newsletter
The International Coherent Amplification Network [ICAN] project has launched a newsletter. The first issue – published earlier this year – provides news and information on the ICAN project and its events.
ICAN aims to bring together the laser, fibre and high-energy physics communities, with the aim of collaborating on a novel laser concept: one which will use fibre lasers to produce high energy and repetition rate pulse sources. Such technology would be needed to increase the electron acceleration rate…
EPS partners European Optical Society journal
The European Physical Society [EPS] has become a partner of the open-access electronic journal of the European Optical Society: Rapid Publications [JEOS:RP]. EPS members will benefit from a special publication rate through this collaboration, which was arranged through the EPS Quantum Electronics and Optics Division [QEOD].
“The partnership with the EPS opens a new chapter for our journal,” says JEOS:RP editor Joseph Braat. Fellow editor Richard M. De La Rue adds: “We welcome the support and involvement that JEOS:RP…
