Roger Grau has just joined the Gamma-ray Groups at IFAE as PhD student. Roger got his Physics Bachelor’s and Master’s degree at UAB.

The IFAE spin-off Deep Detection has been selected for the Traction phase of the program Lanzadera, the startup acceleration program of Juan Roig , president of Mercadona.

The ATLAS physics and performance week is taking place this week. Aurelio Juste is giving the plenary talk “Implication of anomalies (muon g-2, R(K), etc.) for the Exotics program

The IFAE-ATLAS group participates in the [RED LHC Workshop](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1032579/overview) 10-12 May 2021

International collaboration aims for 3D map of the universe, unraveling of mysterious ‘dark energy’. IFAE participates in the DESI Barcelona-Madrid Regional Participation Group, made up of researchers from IFAE, ICE-CSIC, CIEMAT and IFT-UAM. The instrumental contribution to DESI of the group consisted of the design, construction and installation of the complete Guiding, Focusing and Alignment system (GFA).

The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) will foster collaboration and communication among its research institutes, the Catalan education system, and the STEAM centre, creating a permeable and fluid ecosystem.

“Search for new phenomena in events with an energetic jet and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector” has been submitted to PRD.

“Search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark at sqrt(s)=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector using the full Run 2 luminosity” has been submitted to JHEP this week.

A Qubit evaporator is being installed in the QCT Lab. This system is necessary for in-house qubit development and production.
