Computer Security: 20 years of securing controls (or trying to): black swans and convergence
While eagerly expected by experts, the first dominant incident on control systems reported by the media was the Stuxnet attack of 2010 against the Iranian nuclear programme allegedly conducted by some secret services

Accelerator Report: When plans meet reality…
The two beams circulating in the LHC are currently running with different bunch intensities – an unexpected (but successful) premiere, giving us a good chance to reach last year’s luminosity record

Accelerator Report: We reached 100!
On 6 October, the total integrated luminosity passed the symbolic mark of 100 fb⁻¹, exceeding the forecast curve. This allowed the bunch intensity to be increased to explore the intensity reach and limitations in view of the HL-LHC era
