ATLAS PhD grant awarded to a LIP and UMinho PhD student

Every year, the ATLAS Collaboration awards the ATLAS PhD grant to three PhD students. This year, among the winners is Ana Peixoto, PhD student at LIP-Minho and the University of Minho under the MAP-Fis Doctoral Program (a partnership between the universities of Minho, Porto and Aveiro). The names of the three winners were announced during ATLAS Week at a ceremony at the CERN Globe of Science and Innovation.

Search for pair- and single-production of vector-like quarks in final states with at least one Z boson decaying into a pair of electrons or muons in pp collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at √s = 13 TeV

A search for new vector-like quarks in multilepton topologies was published today in arXiv (and submitted to Phys. Rev. D) by the ATLAS Collaboration. An important part of this analysis was done by Tiago Vale, an IDPASC student currently in his 2nd PhD year, in close collaboration with ATLAS colleagues from all over the world. Even if, unfortunately, no evidence for physics phenomena beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics was found, very stringent limits on the production of vector-like quarks at the LHC were obtained. In some cases, these limits are the most stringent ones found so far.

OPERA presents its final results on neutrino oscillations

The OPERA experiment, located at the Gran Sasso Laboratory of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), was designed to conclusively prove that muon-neutrinos can convert to tau-neutrinos, through a process called neutrino oscillation, whose discovery was awarded the 2015 Nobel Physics Prize.
