Scientists’ effort to map a portion of the sky in unprecedented detail is coming to an end, but their work to learn more about the expansion of the universe has just begun.

The Virgo and LIGO detectors are ready to start the new Observing run called O3, lasting a whole year. The hunt for gravitational waves is set to start on April 1st when the Virgo detector and the LIGO twin detectors will start to take data becoming together the most sensitive gravitational wave observatory to date

The European Physical Society has announced that the CDF and D0 collaborations have been awarded the 2019 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize for “the discovery of the top quark and the detailed measurement of its properties”.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), a new instrument designed to accurately map the Universe, begins its final testing stage.

The first GRB detected by the MAGIC telescopes, known as GRB 190114C, reveals for the first time the highest energy photons measured from these objects.

IFAE has donated its stock of clean-room protection equipment to the UAB-related hospitals.

IFAE leads the AVaQus project, which aims to radically upgrade current quantum annealing technology by engineering novel superconducting quantum circuits.

The Port d’Informació Científica (PIC), a research facility created by IFAE and CIEMAT to support scientific groups that require lots of computing for processing data, is putting its computing capacitiy at the service of the COVID-19 research.

The LIGO and Virgo Collaborations have observed gravitational waves produced by the inspiral and merger of two black holes. The signal, named GW190412, was produced by a coalescing BBH system with unequal masses, one component being more than 3 times heavier than the other one.

The T2K Collaboration has published in Nature new results showing the strongest constraint yet on the parameter that governs the breaking of the symmetry between matter and antimatter in neutrino oscillations.

The final AIDA 2020 annual meeting is being held this week. S. Grinstein, as WP coordinator, is presenting the summary of the DMAPS activities.

The PAU Survey: Photometric redshifts using transfer learning from simulations by M. Eriksen et al. has been uploaded to arXiv.
