Topic: ATLAS

Discuss scientific data management with Rucio, a framework for organizing, accessing and processing large datasets distributed across heterogeneous storage and network resources. The workshop brings developer and user communities together around federation, policy-driven data placement, adaptive replication and failure recovery, and the extension of tools developed for ATLAS to other research communities. Community presentations and technical discussion connect operational experience with future software development. 26 October at 12:00 to 30 October at 13:00; Europe/Zurich (CET, UTC+01:00).

Understand how genotype uncertainty changes inference from low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. The workshop develops probabilistic workflows using genotype likelihoods and tools such as ANGSD, ngsTools and Atlas. Sessions progress from samples and alignment files to allele frequencies, population structure, admixture, site-frequency spectra, inbreeding and demographic parameters. Exercises then identify natural-selection signals using diversity, differentiation and linkage statistics. Interactive lectures and independent practicals connect each method to its assumptions. Live online, 26–29

Adriana Milic examines how the ATLAS liquid-argon calorimeter supports rapid event selection. After introducing its readout architecture, she explains the Phase-I change from analogue triggering to finely segmented digital Super Cells. Increased granularity, precision and dynamic range enable better background rejection during high-pile-up Run 3 collisions. Finer segmentation also changes signal-to-noise behaviour and the efficiency for low-energy deposits, creating distinct challenges in heavy-ion data taking. The seminar then considers Phase-II plans for greater bandwidth and full-calorimete

Join the ATLAS muon and gaseous-detector group to lead installation and commissioning of small-diameter drift-tube and resistive plate chambers for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade. The role also offers detector and front-end electronics development for future colliders, ATLAS data analysis and university teaching. The initial contract lasts two years, with extension subject to German law and funding, and pay follows TVöD Bund. The institute is in Garching, Germany. Apply through its online portal by 31 October 2026.

Davide Germani discusses how established field-theory techniques help interpret precise ATLAS and CMS measurements of heavy-quark systems. The first case concerns top–antitop states near their production threshold, drawing on recent calculations by Paolo Nason and collaborators. Topics include threshold resummation, nonperturbative QCD corrections, and the way the top quark’s short lifetime controls the formation and decay of quasi-bound states at collider energies. The second case examines whether X(3872) is a compact exotic hadron or a weakly bound neutral D-meson molecule. A comparison of t
