Higgs hunters still hungry in Paris
Some Higgs measurements are on the verge of being systematics dominated.
Tricky component? Use 3D printing…
Embedded radio-frequency (RF) cavities such as those featured in spiral-shaped cooling channels are one example.
Mexico hosts dynamic LHCP week
Studies involving unusual signatures were popular at the Mexico conference.
Heavy ions and hidden sectors
The meeting was inspired by several recent proposals to take advantage of the unique environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC to search for new phenomena.
High-energy physics flourishes in Latin America
Since the first school in 2001, there has been a dramatic increase in the involvement of Latin-American groups in experimental HEP.

My contemporary and my friend
André Martin witnessed some of the key moments in Gell-Mann’s scientific life, and became a close friend along the way.
Guido Altarelli’s legacy
There can be little doubt that a conspicuous part of the famous triumph of quantum field theory must be ascribed to the depth and breadth of Guido Altarelli’s contributions.
Strong interactions
Harald Fritzsch, who collaborated with Gell-Mann in the early 1970s, describes the steps that led to a full understanding of strong interactions.
Gell-Mann’s multi-dimensional genius
Murray Gell-Mann was one of the great geniuses of the 20th century, says Lars Brink, and stands out among other Nobel laureates.
