    “Being at CERN made everything much more real”

    Tasos and Erwan reflect on their time at CERN through the NGT Exchange Programme As part of the Next Generation Triggers (NGT) exchange programme, we recently welcomed two master’s students from Uppsala University—Anastasios Kakos (Greece) and Erwan Larie-Kerboull (France)—. Working under the supervision of Prof. Rebeca González Suárez and collaborating with NGT fellows Maria Carnesale…

  • Tackling Negative Weights in High-Energy Physics Simulations

    Tackling Negative Weights in High-Energy Physics Simulations

    Last week, from May 5 to 8, researchers from across the high-energy physics community gathered at CERN to take on a thorny problem in modern event generation: negative weights. As computing demands rise with the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), so too does the urgency to make Monte Carlo (MC) simulations more efficient. Negative weights—an artefact of…
