A Quarter-Century of Surprises: Exploring the Quark-Gluon Plasma

A massive blue ring with green wires looped inside of it and multi-colored wires coming out of the edges. There is a long rod that goes in a hole in the middle of it.

Ion Recycling to Illuminate the Heaviest Elements

Illustration of the ion trap used by the ISOLDE team to measure the electron affinity of chlorine. In the trap, chlorine anions are reflected back and forth between two electrostatic ion mirrors, allowing the laser beam (pink) to probe the anions for much longer than in conventional measurements. The laser frequency is tuned to find the exact photon energy above which the extra electron (small white circle) is removed from the anion.

Machine Learning Methods Used to Control and Optimize the VENUS Ion Source

The superconducting ECR ion source VENUS is pictured with an AI-generated, cartoon, eight-armed computer that appears to be making adjustments to the source. Arms missing hands and the fact that the existing hands are all doing things not useful to source operation inspire questions of AI/ML’s readiness for either quality image generation or ion source operation.

New Data Release from CUORE Features a “Noise-Canceling” Algorithm

Close-up view of an array of cubic, pale crystals held in a copper framework. The structure is composed of multiple repeating units arranged in a symmetrical, grid-like pattern, with small white spacers at the intersections.
