Physicist @SLAClab @Stanford - Looking for the unexpected at the LHC with the @ATLASexperiment @CERN and thinking about the next particle collider

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

It was really fun talking to @alanalda @alda about particles and how we study them. Truly beautiful questions!

[Clear+Vivid @alda]

It’s #ScienceClearAndVivid Podcast Day! @AlanAlda chats w/ @SLAClab Physicist @Stanford, @catevernieri.

As a young Italian physics student, she was lucky enough to join the team hunting for an elusive & highly-prized fundamental particle.

proof of the readiness!

Ready to test Rasnik alignement method with the Cryomodule prototype @SLAClab !

[Tristan du Pree @Tristan_duPree]

Success! This is what a few years of alignment development for a linear e+e- accelerator looks like 😊

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

@Tristan_duPree it looks like 2 https://t.co/JitWhb8AUl

[Breakthrough @brkthroughprize]

CERN's experiments are global efforts. The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics honors over 13,000 researchers whose labors have led to the precise description the Higgs mechanism, the discovery of dozens of new particles, analysis of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry and exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions. https://t.co/OSDzo6jMHF @CERN

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

Sections of C3 structures at @_nikhef - can’t wait for your Rasnik system at @SLAClab to align the whole thing!

[Tristan du Pree @Tristan_duPree]

📬 I’ve got mail! All the way from @SLAClab we received some beautiful accelerator cavities at @_Nikhef for our contributions to the C3 Cool Copper Collider! Thanks @CateVernieri, very cool 😎

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

Congrats Harry & Tristan @_nikhef ! Next more tests at @SLAClab with first full demo with the cryomodule !

[Tristan du Pree @Tristan_duPree]

Success! After over 2 years of R&D, the alignment system we developed at @_Nikhef for the linear Cool Copper Collider is now working in liquid nitrogen! Next step: include it in the upcoming accelerator demonstrator at SLAC

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

C3 workshop at @_nikhef is a wrap!
2 years since my first visit - lots of progress since then and now getting ready for the first demo. Huge thanks @Tristan_duPree for the great hospitality and for finding 3 Cs in Amsterdam :)

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

CCC in Amsterdam @_nikhef

[Tristan du Pree @Tristan_duPree]

Today and tomorrow we host at @_Nikhef the C3 workshop on the status and plans of the Cool Copper Collider!

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

Back to Amsterdam this fall!

[Tristan du Pree @Tristan_duPree]

This Autumn, 7-8 October, we host the C3 workshop in the @_Nikhef building @AdamSciencePark!

We'll discuss the status and plans of C3, a.k.a. the 'Cool Copper Collider', one of the potential future linear electron-positron colliders

Registration is open!

Busy week in Tokyo for Cool copper ! Great progress all around!

[Tristan du Pree @Tristan_duPree]

Attending (online) the LCWS in Japan (International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders) to discuss the studies of our RasNik-based alignment system for the Cool Copper Collider

more data, more boosted Higgs bosons - recent result from @ZhiZhen09123284 @dimntounis @SLAClab

[ATLAS Experiment @ATLASexperiment]

The ATLAS Experiment at @CERN is jetting into a new era of #Higgsboson research!

In a milestone study, physicists explore Higgs-boson production in association with W or Z bosons using a novel approach. Learn more ⤵️ https://t.co/A6NLKz95eY

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

Long thread, longer paper, great results - congrats @dimntounis !

[Dimitris Ntounis @dimntounis]

1/ 🧵 Happy to share that our latest paper on the Cool Copper Collider (C3) w/ E. Nanni and @catevernieri is out in @PhysRevAB @APSphysics: 📚✨#ParticlePhysics #FutureColliders #CoolCopperCollider.
Here are the highlights of our study:

[CMS Experiment CERN @CMSExperiment]

📈More than #OpenData, CMS continues to move towards #OpenScience 💪

🎉The statistical analysis tool used to find the #Higgs boson, along with the full statistical model and the data used to make the measurements are now available to all! 🎉

I couldn’t think of a better way to pay tribute to Meenakshi’s legacy. So lucky to have had both her and Rob as my mentors

[R. Sekhar Chivukula @sekharchivukula]

#apsapril Robert Harris giving his Meenakshi Narain Mentoring Award research presentation!

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

Our (first) search for associated Higgs production at high momentum with ATLAS is now in PRL - congrats @ZhiZhen09123284 and @dimntounis @SLAClab https://t.co/GIaxZRo5ZF - now we just need more data!

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

cold-copper technology & cool
applications

[CERN Courier @CERNCourier]

Originally conceived at SLAC as an attractive approach to a linear-collider Higgs factory, interest in cold-copper accelerator technology has expanded to other areas: https://t.co/1KCge8stlV

[SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory @SLAClab]

🛠️On a quest to understand the Higgs boson and the search for physics beyond the Standard Model, SLAC experimentalists and theorists are working to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

[Caterina Vernieri @catevernieri]

@DanielJeans4ILC @SLAClab he’s ready to build!
