The Cluster of Excellence PRISMA+ is searching for #NewPhysics beyond the #StandardModel of #ParticlePhysics. Its core feature is the construction and operation of the #ParticleAccelerator MESA, which will enable high-precision experimental results to be compared with theoretical physics predictions 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brAnwA15bHI&list=PLmGfeHeU4DbGPxcpdL2PGdbEGqYKDnl5e

Good news: PRISMA+ has been approved for further funding in the German Excellence Strategy program of @dfg_public and @WissRat 🎉

First vacuum in our FAIR ring accelerator SIS100 💫
As a functionality test, one of the newly installed vacuum segments of the accelerator was successfully pumped down to high vacuum. A big step towards the completion of the SIS100! https://www.gsi.de/en/start/news/details/2025/06/12/1st-vacuum-sis100

Meet PENeLOPE aka Precision Experiment on the Neutron Lifetime Operating on Proton Extraction at TRIUMF in The University of British Columbia (my alma mater) 💎

Went behind the scenes with Theoretical Physicist Carlos de Lima who toured me & Tech2Step Canada this week.

More to follow, including the biggest prototype I’ve ever seen at Canada’s most colourful #cyclotron #ParticleAccelerator #ForScience #BTS #WomenInSTEAM

FAIR is coming to Darmstadt – a world-leading research facility to explore the birth of matter in stars.
This ambitious project will transform our understanding of the universe.

So, at work we managed to transmute base metal into #gold.

Turns out that the #alchemical approach was all wrong and what you really need is a massive #particleaccelerator with near-miss collisions of lead ions while you are making quark-gluon plasma.

🏝️New island of asymmetric fission discovered!
During a ten-day experiment at GSI/FAIR, an international team of scientists revealed a transition toward increasingly asymmetric fission in neutron-deficient heavy nuclei.

Surprisingly, the island is characterized by a dominance of light fission fragments of krypton (Z = 36).

What benefits do these results have for future research? Find out 👉https://www.gsi.de/start/aktuelles/detailseite/2025/05/14/asymmetrische-kernspaltung

Build the Particle Accelerator they said. Soon we will see the world's first real superhero - the birth of the Flash family. /s

"It is hoped that expanding this energy frontier will reveal never-before-seen particles that could solve some pressing issues regarding the standard model — the current best theory of the Universe’s fundamental particles and fields — and shed light on some of physics’ greatest mysteries, such as the nature of dark matter — the most powerful instrument ever built..."
