Origins 2013 - a European Researchesr' Night event

On 4 July 2012, CERN announced the discovery of a new particle, confirmed to be the Higgs boson this year, responsible for the origin of particles mass. In March, the unprecedented resolution provided by the instruments installed onboard ESAs Planck satellite, has revealed unexpected fluctuations in the temperature distribution of the primordial radiation of the Big Bang, providing an unprecedented insight into the origins of our Universe and a new picture of its composition today. Planck is painting a new picture of the Universe that is pushing the limits of understanding current cosmological theories. On Researchers Night 2013, we celebrate the multi-disciplinary teams of scientists who made these and other discoveries possible.

Cofunding of the CERN Fellowship Programme 
CERN has been running its Fellowship Programme for about 50 years. This project proposes an extension of the existing Senior Fellowship programme, co-funded by Marie Curie Actions. These fellowships will be branded “CERN–Marie-Curie COFUNDed Fellowships in Particle Physics and Advanced Technologies” (CMCC Fellowships in short) and will receive additional benefits with respect to regular CERN Fellowships.

FTK: Fast Tracker for Hadron Collider Experiments
This project aims to develop an extremely fast but compact processor, with supercomputer performances, for pattern recognition, data reduction, and information extraction in high quality image processing. The proposed hardware prototype features flexibility for potential applications in a wide range of fields, from triggering in high energy physics to simulating human brain functions in experimental psychology or to automating diagnosis by imaging in medical physics. In general, any artificial intelligence process based on massive pattern recognition could largely profit from our device, provided data are suitably prepared and formatted.

UNILHC: Unification in the LHC ERA
The main research theme of this initial training network is the theoretical interpretation of results coming from LHC (Large Hadron Collider) and other experimental and observational sources. The aim is to identify the physics Beyond the Standard Model of strong, weak and electro-magnetic forces and ultimately to provide a fully unified description of the fundamental states of matter and their interactions.
