News from Advanced Training at LIP
"Even if the hot period of Summer Internships is gone, we still have news from advanced training at LIP. Here is a summary of the most recent ones. Internships, publications, workshops, thesis defenses, a barbecue... there is a little bit of everything."
Starting precisely with the Summer Internships, many final papers are already published! You can find them in the advanced training pages of the LIP website, here.
Still talking about internships, eight students from Técnico are currently at LIP, working in the CMS group for a month. They are studying the (central and exclusive) production of pair of tau leptons. This internship is part of the course LFUI-Laboratory of Experimental Physics in Research Units.
In November, PhD students were called to show their work (in progress) in several events: from the PhD Open Days at Técnico to the 12th LHC students poster session at CERN (see photos below) through the ProtoTera PhD Students Workshop.
From the beginning of September until the end of November, we reported in the LIP website news the defence of 2 PhD theses and 12 MSc theses of students who carried out their research work integrated in LIP's groups - in Lisbon, Coimbra or Braga. We hope the list is complete... and once again, congratulations to all!
And almost at the end, let's talk about parties. On September 23rd, Autumn Equinox, the students of LIP in Lisbon organized (with the collaboration of the ECO group) a barbecue that sought to be an opportunity for everyone to socialize: summer trainees, graduate students, and other members of LIP. And it worked - for those who were there, of course (you can find the few existing photos below). It was also the first barbecue after the pandemic, and an important pilot test: it's not obvious that after almost three years everything is in the same place, and in good condition. It was not, in fact. But now we are more prepared, and we hope that 2023 will be a year with more convivial moments.
Finally we wish to thank the participation of graduate students from the three LIP nodes in communication and outreach initiatives, from the European Researchers' Night to the Science and Technology Week, passing through the social networks. And we remind you that everyone is welcome - for a regular collaboration, or simply to send us a photo, a piece of news or a suggestion from time to time!
