New ATLAS Measurement of the Higgs Boson |
08 October 2014 |
The ATLAS collaboration has released the
final measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to W bosons using data from the
first run of the Large Hadron Collider. The newly optimized analysis studies the Higgs boson in two
production modes. |

ARIEL: Switching on the (RF) Power |
12 September 2014 |
With the mass efforts building in the Electron Hall
this year, many components of the e-linac are in position and ready for operation.
Klystron One and Klystron Two, the high-power continuous wave klystrons,
are ready to power the cryomodules of the e-linac. |
