"Science for peace and security" and 70 years since the founding of CERN: the seventh edition of the Magurele Summer School begins!
"Science for peace and security" is a subject of major importance for society and for the preparation of students, especially from the perspective of their future careers. In a world marked by global challenges, from cyber security and public health to climate change and environmental protection, using science to promote peace and security becomes essential. This year's Magurele Science and Technology Summer School topics cover a wide range of topics in this field, from combating pathogen resistance to antibiotics and natural hazards to discoveries related to asteroids that may threaten the earth or the composition of dark matter. In 2024, CERN celebrates its 70th anniversary. We, at the Summer School, are also marking this anniversary through a series of themes that will allow high school students passionate about science to participate in some of the international projects carried out within the cooperation programs of which Romania is also a part.

Julien Benoit Maurer (DFPE, ATLAS group) winner of the ATLAS Outstanding Achievements Awards
The ATLAS Outstanding Achievements Awards recognise outstanding technical accomplishments by individuals or teams for technical work on detector operation, upgrade, software, computing and combined performance, during the period February 2022 to October 2023. A total of 116 nominations were received for 62 individuals or teams.The selection considers the achievement and its impact on ATLAS, the effort invested, the nominations received, and the result of the pre-evaluation. After an extensive review of many highly deserving candidates, nine awards have been attributed to the individuals and teams listed below. Our colleague Julien Maurer is one of winners of this award for outstanding contributions to the ATLAS prompt reconstruction operation. Julien joined the ATLAS group of DFPE at IFIN-HH in 2013. There, he has worked mainly on experimental searches for Supersymmetry, on the reconstruction of electron and photon signals in the ATLAS detector, and on its operation. One of these recent operational responsibilities consisted in coordinating the reconstruction of Run 3 data at the CERN Tier0 computers farm, soon after its recording by the detector. View picture

Ionization Induces Healing of Defects in Silicon
Dr. Velisa's research group (IFIN-HH, Romania) in collaboration with Prof. Weber (UTK, US), Dr. Zhang (UTK, US), Dr. Y. Tong (Yantai University, China) and Dr. Zarkadoula (ORNL, US) have advanced the understanding of ionization-induced healing by revealing a substantial annealing of pre-existing defects and restoration of structural order in silicon (Si) from energy transferred to electrons by intermediate-energy incident ions via inelastic ionization processes.
