🤩 Superb result, following the previous detection of a void using the #muography technique. A great encouragement for our @CP3_UCLouvain colleagues A. Giammanco and E. Cortina who are exploring this technique for cultural heritage applications and more!

Now we have a national estimation of the total cost for article processing charges, 30M€ / year (France). The cost has tripled in ten years. The cost will probably double again in the next decade...

I would lie saying that interviewing 3 astronauts was on my #BUCKETLIST - how could have I thought it was even possible. But here it is! https://www.tintin.com/en/news/5919/little-story-of-infinity-astronaut-stories big thanks to @UCLouvain_be and @tintin for a great moment!
CMS is not only a #detector! ✨ It's also passionate people, memories, personal effort and team work!
Listen to four #scientists who were #working at CMS before it was even built discussing with their #young colleagues about what it takes to make something THAT major from scratch!

In the land of Middle-earth, deep in the realm of the elves, there exists a mysterious and elusive particle known as the neutrino. This tiny, ghost-like particle is thought to be without mass, and it moves through the fabric of space and time with a grace and speed unlike any other known particle.
But there are some who say that the neutrino is not truly massless, but rather that it possesses a tiny, imperceptible amount of mass. If this is true, it would be a revelation of great import, and could shed new light on the fundamental nature of the universe and the workings of the great cosmic forces.
The wise and learned elves have devoted much effort to studying the neutrino, seeking to unlock its secrets and understand its true nature. They have built great machines and instruments, powerful enough to probe the very fabric of space and time, in their quest to unravel the mystery of the neutrino.
And so the quest continues, as the elves strive to unlock the secrets of the universe and uncover the hidden truths of the neutrino.

Also, it is cool that this could be considered a plausible posisbility when we are, as community, generally incapable of connecting a room to Zoom on the first try...
