Mmm, what was celebrated? 🤔

CERN Council reviews feasibility study for a next-generation collider At a meeting of the #CERN Council on 6-7 November, delegates from CERN’s Member and Associate Member States reviewed the outcome of the Feasibility Study for the proposed Future Circular Collider. 🔗 home.cern/news/news/ac...

Today I run the Almere Crosscup 🏃‍♂️

🚨 New LHC record 🚨 The Large Hadron Collider produced more collisions in 2025 than in any previous year!

And detectors for LHC!

Great news for the LHC experiments, and more generally for faster detectors www.nikhef.nl/en/news/nwo-...

👩‍🎓 This month we have a beautiful pair of PhD defenses on H->bb and H->cc

Awesome combined HH constraints from ATLAS+CMS 🌐🤝🛑

Nikhef 5️⃣0️⃣ years

Should I write a paper on LEP4?

Interesting new results by @cmsexperiment.bsky.social in the study of 1-Higgs, 2-Higgs, and 3-Higgs production

🎵 Snow on the Jura 🎵🎸

Can I do a 2-factor authentication for all my devices for all my favourite websites in one go each morning?

No large particle collider in China in the near future. "CEPC will not be considered for inclusion in China’s next five-year plan (2026–2030)" ⚛️🧪 cerncourier.com/a/cepc-matur...

Wow. Really significant setback for CEPC, which many were worried would cannibalize FCC, or hoped would spur a muon collider in the US.

“We plan to submit CEPC for consideration again in 2030, unless FCC is officially approved before then, in which case we will seek to join FCC, and give up CEPC.”

Finally the rumours become public: The CEPC Chinese collider project is on hold. cerncourier.com/a/cepc-matur...

CepC proposal will not be included in China’s next 5-year plan cerncourier.com/cepc-matures...

It's time for @lievenscheire.bsky.social's annual wintertime procedure

Will 2025 be a another record year for the LHC?

Pileup of 206 is incredible

🤯206 collisions in one bunch crossing! Usually, we see around 60 collisions every time a bunch of protons meet another, so this is a test of a very special kind for the High Luminosity phase! 😍This is what the CMS detector captures during events such as these! 😍 🎞️Tom McCauley

The ultimate PhD thesis color matching: thesis cover spectrum matches inside figures and even her phone cover(!) On Monday 24 November, Zhuoran defends her PhD research at Radboud University Nijmegen 👩‍🎓

How many protons actually collide when the Large Hadron Collider beams cross in the experiments at CERN? #physics

Watch the 'making of' video of the new gorgeous art work by Jop Vissers Vorstenbosch, installed in the newly renovated Nikhef building in Amsterdam! Video by @mjkraan.bsky.social youtu.be/XVlgN5WzeDY

Cool new artwork at the entrance of the Nikhef building

Opening event of the new artwork at the entrance of the @nikhef.bsky.social building

Hét adviesorgaan voor de deeltjesfysica in de VS opgeheven.

🚨 New positions 🚨 We have two open PhD positions, and one postdoc position, to search for double-Higgs production in the LHC Run-3 data, together with the @atlasexperiment.bsky.social group at @nikhef.bsky.social: jobs.nikhef.nl

Some nice pictures of the cum laude PhD defense of Dr. Bryan Kortman at University of Twente 👨‍🎓

Close enough

Amsterdam Science Park 🏃‍♂️

Excellent LHC luminosity in 2025

Always a great moment to get a paper copy of the PhD thesis from our students. Marion will defend her thesis 23 October at Radboud University Nijmegen 👩‍🎓

🆕 CMS HHH->6b 🆕

ik mis twitter

Ik kijk er tegenwoordig ook een stuk minder reikhalzend naar uit

The High-Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP), which I served on a few years ago has been dissolved. The six DOE Office of Science FACA (Federal Advisory Committee Act) committees are now replaced with the Office of Science Advisory Committee (SCAC). www.energy.gov/science/arti...

"Bedankt voor het invullen van deze datumprikker! Hierbij krijgt u... korting op een uitvaartverzekering" 🤨

Vandaag was de promotie van Bryan Kortman bij @utwente.bsky.social. Promotoren: Pamela Ferrari, Wouter Verkerke en @tristandupree.bsky.social. Cum laude dus extra speciaal. Donna Beerda maakte een tekening van de plechtigheid. Heel leuk idee en ook goed gelukt

Great PhD defense by Bryan Kortman at University of Twente yesterday

Congratulations Dr. Kortman! Today Bryan received his PhD at University of Twente, cum laude! 👨‍🎓

Double the Higgs, double the mystery! 🕵️🕵️ By studying Higgs boson pairs, CMS scientists are charting new territory in the search for particles far heavier than the ones we know. 📍Read more: cms.cern/news/double-...

Had a great week in beautiful Dubrovnik, at the HHH workshop: presenting our latest Higgs results, discussing new plans & ideas, and meeting friends & colleagues
