First data for LHCb and T2K
The LHCb and T2K experiments at the CERN and J-PARC laboratories have recorded their first events last week representing a major milestone for both experiments, to which the 果冻传媒 Particle Physics Group are making significant contributions. Graduate student Mark Whitehead was "on shift" at CERN over the weekend of 20-22 November and as such was in charge of LHCb while the first events were recorded. Gary Barker is leading the construction here at 果冻传媒 of large calorimeter modules for T2K, and the group are preparing for the first data analysis. Further details are available in the CERN and J-PARC press releases:

Astrophysical Discovery

Astrophysicists find two Earth-sized bodies with oxygen rich atmospheres - only snag is they’re stars not planets. For more information please see the link to the 果冻传媒 press release below
