The last couple of weeks have seen a mixed bag of special runs, luminosity production, machine development and down-time

The International School of Trigger and Data Acquisition will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece in February 2013

The number of the events the detector can handle per bunch crossing is limited. Even so, LHCb wants to integrate as much luminosity as possible

Didier Contardo and Jeff Spalding discuss the physics goals for CMS

CMS has published its first paper on proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions

The first measures the pseudorapidity density of charged particles in p–Pb collisions while the second is on transverse momentum distribution

The past two weeks have seen luminosity production rates vary somewhat but the overall upwards slope has remained steady

Hypothetical particles called "leptoquarks" combine traits of leptons and hadrons - just as the platypus combines those of reptilies and mammals

Applications are now open for eight conferences in topics from exoplanets to the Higgs boson

The LHC has been in luminosity production mode for a couple of weeks - the total integrated luminosity for the year has passed 14 inverse femtobarns
