31 May 2010: Researchers of the OPERA experiment at the INFN Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy announced the first direct observation of a tau particle in a muon neutrino beam sent through the Earth from CERN, 130 km away. It follows a 7 years preparation and over 3 years of beam provided by CERN. The observation of neutrino oscillation is a strong evidence for new physics as it implies that they have mass which does not correspond to the standard model actually.
18 June 2010: CERN council opens the door to greater integration: all states shall be eligible for membership, irrespective of their location). Applications for membership from Cyprus, Israel, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey have already been received.
26 July 2010: ICHEP conference highlights first results from the LHC: rediscovery of the particles that lie at the heart of the Standard Model. Essential step before moving on to make discoveries.
26 August 2010: AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) experiment takes off for Kennedy Space Centre. This is an experiment to search in space for dark matter, missing matter and antimatter on the International Space Station (ISS).
24 September 2010: European researchers’ night: CERN was one of the 260 European locations involved in this 5th edition.

4 November 2010: End of Proton running for 2010 in the LHC (proton-proton collisions). The major target for 2010 which was to reach a luminosity of 1032 per square centimetre per second was achieved two weeks earlier than expected, enabling the experiments to double the amount of data collected in the space of only few days. WLCG performed very well with peaks of 10 gigabytes per second.
8 November 2010: Start of the lead-ion running. Main objectives: produce tiny quantities of quark-gluon plasma, the matter as it would have been in the first instants of the Universe’s existence, and study its evolution into the kind of matter that makes up the universe today.
17 November 2010: Antihydrogen atoms produced and trapped (for about a tenth of a second) at CERN thanks to an innovative technique for studying antimatter: opens the path to new ways of making detailed measurements, which will in turn allow scientists to compare matter and antimatter.
17 December 2010: Brazil’s candidature for associate membership.
26 November 2010: First direct observation of a phenomenon known as jet quenching made by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations: powerful tool for studying the behaviour of the plasma in detail.

31 January 2011: Decision to run the LHC through to the end of 2012 with a short technical stop at the end of 2012 to give a good chance of finding new physics in the next two years, before the LHC goes into a long shutdown to prepare for higher energy running starting 2014. The LHC was previously scheduled to run to the end of 2011 but the machine’s excellent performance in its first full year of operation forced a rethink.
April and May 2011: LHC sets new world records beam intensity: on 22 April, the LHC exceeded the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Tevatron collider’s beam luminosity record established in 2010. Since then, new worlds records have been established on a regular basis by the LHC.
30 April 2011: The tram goes to CERN (20 minutes direct trip from Cornavin railway station).
This week: The AMS detector will head for the International Space Station, onboard the very last mission of the space Shuttle Endeavour.

Physics World top 10 breakthroughs 2010
Dec 20, 2010: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/44618
1. CERN Antihydrogen success‘It was a tough decision, given all the fantastic physics done in 2010. But we have decided to award the Physics World 2010 Breakthrough of the Year to two international teams of physicists at CERN, who have created new ways of controlling antiatoms of hydrogen.’
2. Exoplanet's atmosphere is laid bare
3. Quantum effects seen in a visible object
4. Visible-light cloaking of large objects
5. Hail the first sound lasers
6. A Bose–Einstein condensate from light
7. Relativity with a human touch
8. Towards a Star Wars telepresence
9. Proton is smaller than we thought
10. 10th place: CERN achieves landmark collisions‘We couldn't have a top 10 list that does not include the significant breakthroughs in accelerator technology at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In March, LHC physicists achieved the first 7 TeV proton–proton collisions ever achieved in a particle accelerator. And what's more, in November the LHC moved seamlessly into the business of colliding lead ions in a successful bid to recreate the conditions of just after the Big Bang. Both runs generated copious amounts of data that will keep physicists busy until the accelerator starts up again next year.’

Intel ISEF award winners visiting CERN
For the second year, 12 Intel ISEF pre-college winners visited CERN in June, hosted by the CERN IT Department.
All of them were finalists of the Intel ISEF fair and presented projects in the five categories related to CERN scientific fields. 166 students applied for the CERN award. The selection, done at the fair by Alberto Pace (CERN) and Jan Iven (CERN), was based on the student’s project, the presentation, the students motivation to go to CERN and the correctness of the replies given to the questionnaire when applying to the award.
This year, the Intel ISEF students who will win the CERN award will also be given the chance to go to visit CERN from 19 to 16 June 2011.
Selection will be done next week (8 to 13 May 2011) at the Intel ISEF fair that takes places in Los Angeles this year. Wolfgang von Rüden and Alberto Pace will be the judges for the CERN award.

Computing Colloquia and IT Seminars
CERN Computing Colloquia present future trends in computing and information technology that are of broad interest to the physics and computing community at CERN. They are generally hold in the main auditorium.
CERN IT Seminars are more technical and generally hold in the IT auditorium as they are targeting computing experts.
We will be glad to help you liaise with CERN IT Department to participate in such colloquia or seminars at CERN: feel free to share your ideas with us
