Serpico awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal

Our colleague Pasquale Serpico is awarded the 2013 CNRS bronze medal. This is in recognition of his work and achievements is astroparticle physics and in cosmology.

Les Houches 2013

The next session of the PhysTeV Workshop initiated by LAPTh physicists in 1999 and organized every two years since then, will take place in Les Houches as usual from 3-21 June 2013. This series of workshops has contributed much to the physics of the LHC by bringing together in an a relatively secluded place theorists and experimentalists working either towards a better precision for the standard model observables or on new models and theories for the New Physics. This has led, among other things, to the many celebrated Les Houches Accords and Les Houches Recommendations. 2013 will be the year where we will finally discuss the impact of the newly discovered resonance, which is probably the long sought after LH, …oups Le Higgs.

LAPTh co-organiser of a High Energy School in Turkey

LAPTh is partner in an  ERASMUS Intensive Programme whose project coordinator is METU (Middle East Technical University), Ankara, Turkey. The consortium organised the  International Summer School on High Energy Physics:”Standard Model and Beyond”  funded in part by the EU and the Turkish National Agency-Life Long Learning. Our first year doctoral students took part in the school which was held in Antalya from 28 August to 8 September 2012. See the site of the School for more details.
