The 2016 Stirling Lecture was held on Monday 5th December at 17:15 in the Appleby Lecture Theatre (W103). The lecture titled “Smashing Physics: Latest news from the energy frontier” will be given by Professor Jonathan Butterworth, Professor of Physics at University College London. Professor Jonathan Butterworth is not only a physics professor at University College

80 physicists gathered in Manchester in April to discuss the future of the LHCb experiment at the meeting ‘Theatre of Dreams: Beyond the LHCb PhaseUpgrade’,http://www.hep.manchester.ac.uk/theatre-of-dreams/index.html exploring the longer term future of the experiment so that the flavour physics potential of the LHC can be fully exploited. See Cern Courier and LHCb for more information.

Out of 30 international applicants Shaun Bailey, Patrick Bolton, Josh Borrow, Arnaud Lorin, Myles Mitchel, Elliot Reid and Andrew Spiers were chosen to work with IPPP staff on research projects related to current activities in the particle physics community. Summer Projects

Fabrizio Caola is one of this year’s two winners of the Guido Altarelli prize. The Altarelli prize honours the memory of the late Guido Altarelli, a pioneer of the unravelling of the strong interaction and the structure of hadrons, an outstanding communicator of particle physics, and a mentor and strong supporter of Junior Scientists. It

On 15th December, IPPP hosted an event at the Royal Society in London to mark the 50th anniversary of the discovery of atmospheric neutrinos. The experimental collaboration from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (India), Osaka City University (Japan) and Durham University (UK) reported the discovery of the first atmospheric neutrinos in the Kolar Gold Fields

On 10.12.2015, the STFC announced the outcome of this year’s funding application in experimental particle physics.  The IPPP has been awarded a grant of about £350,000 for the HEPData project.   Despite not being directly involved in experimental activities, e.g. at the LHC at CERN, the IPPP plays an important role for the experimental community

The IPPP has awarded twelve Associateships for 2015/2016
