Bikash Sinha (1945 – 2023)
Bikash Sinha(1945 – 2023) — Bikash Sinha, influential Indian scientist and pioneer in quark–gluon plasma and the early Universe, passed away on 11 August at the age of 78. As one of the ALICE experiment’s early visionaries and architects, his impact on heavy-ion physics is unmistakable. Bikash Sinha was born on 16 June 1945 in

Thick-skinned: Scientists determine the thickness of neutron “skin” in lead-208 nuclei
This is the first measurement of the neutron skin of lead-208 using exchanges predominantly involving gluons and it can provide insight into the structure of nuclei and neutron stars

CMS presents its latest search for new exotic particles
This search for exotic long-lived particles looks at the possibility of “dark photon” production, which would occur when a Higgs boson decays into muons displaced in the detector
