arXiv now hosts OVER 3 million scientific articles! 🤯
arXiv reached the 2 million article mark back in 2022 - it's only taken 4 years to add another million.
Read more on the blog about this milestone and our record-breaking monthly submission totals.

A landmark moment at #ITER! The final module of the central solenoid was added to complete the stack. This powerful magnet, the beating heart of ITER, will induce the plasma current needed to initiate & help control the fusion reaction inside the tokamak.

"Evidence of nuclear geometry-driven anisotropic flow in OO and Ne−Ne collisions at 5.36 TeV"
Even in these tiny collisions, the data matches hydrodynamic models. We still see fluid-like behaviour with very low viscosity, like in Pb-Pb collisions.

The loudest #GravitationalWave in #GWTC4 is #GW230814
Detected with only @LIGOLA it was about twice as loud as GW150914!
Being loud should enable precision tests of general relativity, but with only one detector, you need to be careful with the analysis
ligo.org/science-summaries/G…
ALT The gravitational-wave signal GW230814. The top panel shows the time-frequency representation of the signal where brighter regions indicate larger amplitude. The CWT acronym points to the method used to construct this time-frequency representation, based on the Continuous Wavelet Transform. The bottom panel shows the signal represented as a time series. The blue and purple lines show two different methods of reconstruction for the signal waveform. It is clear that the signal is a compact binary coalescence and the data are in good agreement with the reconstructions until the ringdown part. Being such a loud signal allows us to make this wonderfully precise reconstruction!

Trying not to have too much FOMO over missing the Initial Stages conference in Taiwan this week!
The sPHENIX Experiment has some exciting first results on jet probes of the QGP - a classic dijet asymmetry, steered by @CUBoulderPhys grad student Dan Lis!

ALICE at Initial Stages 2025:
Plenary talks on “ALICE Highlights” by Sushanta Tripathy and “ALICE results with small systems and light ions” by Jan Fiete Grosse-Oetringhaus presented exciting results from the recent Oxygen and Neon runs at the LHC and future upgrades.

Congratulations to freshly minted PhD Soohwan Lee (#KoreaUniversity & @CMSExperiment) for passing his defense today. Excellent result: the discovery of bottomonium Y(3S) state in #heavyion collisions @CERN with 5.6 sigma. W/ U.K. Yang (@SeoulNatlUni ), HOD S. Choi & B. Hong.

It is STABLE BEAMS time at the LHC!
The 2025 data taking season has officially started again. At the ALICE experiment we have had today the first stable beams!

📣 We have beam in the tunnel 💫
Today, the Large Hadron Collider received the first particle beams of 2025. #BeamTime
Protons were injected into the #LHC for the first time since November 2024, when the annual year-end technical stop (YETS) started. This is the fourth year of #LHCRun3, and the new data-taking season is about to begin.
Stay tuned for more #ParticlePhysics news.

First protons of 2025 in the LHC!
So great to be part of the operation team at @CMSExperiment to see the first protons of the year circulating in the giant accelerator. Thank you #LHC @CERN ! This is the start of a very exciting year !

Final checks underway on the ALICE Muon Spectrometer before the cavern closes this month for the start of the data taking! Captured some exclusive views of ALICE rarely seen on regular visits!

How do we get lead ions in the LHC? Sarah Charley talks about it in Symmetry magazine:

A step closer to make #AIFactories a reality.
The @EuroHPC_JU has selected 7 proposals in 15 EU Member States to establish and operate the first AI Factories across Europe, that will be deployed in 2025-2026.
Investing €1.5 B of national & #EUfunding in European AI excellence.

In 2024, CERN has reported the highest production rate ever for their proton - proton collisions!
The year will end on a high note, with integrated luminosity surpassing its high expectations for all experiments.
For example, @CMSExperiment (shown below)
ALT CMS integrated luminosity over time. This graph is to show comparison to prior years, with the final luminosity reaching 134 inverse femtobarns Credit to PPC, Christoph Paus
