Christoph Grab is professor for experimental physics at ETH Zurich and coordinates the computing infrastructure for the Swiss particle physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN. In this interview Christoph tells us what scientific questions the LHC experiments want to answer. He summarizes the most important results that have been presented at […]
CSCS is operating an HPC system for the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP), which is used to analyze the data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment at CERN. CSCS asked CHIPP to organize an internal one day workshop to present the physics, the experiments and the accelerator at the LHC as well. The […]
Today has been a special day here at CSCS for the HPC Co-Location Services team: We were following with crossed fingers the first collisions of the LHC collider at CERN. And everything went well! We are very proud with the cluster Phoenix of CHIPP to contribute as Tier 2 to the analysis of the large […]
Today marks the start of the LHC research programme with the first attempt for collisions at 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam). Webcasts are available until 18:15 (Central European Summer Time – CEST). The main webcast will include live footage from the control room for the LHC accelerator and from the control rooms of the […]
