The permanent photo exhibition funded by the Emilie du Châtelet 2020 call for proposals has been set up in the hbar physics building (photo below) . Fifteen posters have been distributed on the different floors of the building with a short description of the photo. A QR Code links to a more detailed description on the P2IO website with links to the experiments and to the P2IO labs..

On Oct. 27, 2021, stable proton beams circulated and collided in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN for the first time since 2018. The CMS experiment has spent the last three years preparing for the upcoming data-taking period, Run 3, which is scheduled to start in the spring of 2022.

Sara Bolognesi received the European Physical Society's Emmy Noether Award, dedicated to women in physics, for developing data analysis techniques that significantly improved the sensitivity of the CMS experiment at CERN, leading to the discovery of the Higgs boson and the first measurement of its spin and parity.

Since the main magnet of the Iseult MRI machine took up residence in its Neuropsin arch in 2017, it has taken 4 years to transform it into the most powerful, self-sufficient magnet based on a high-availability system allowing it to operate for 10 years! In 2018, for its 1st cooling, it took 14 weeks to go from room temperature to its nominal temperature of 1.8K.

The CMS collaboration presented its most successful current measurement of the Higgs boson properties in the two-photon decay channel at the ICHEP conference in August 2020. The results are based on the complete LHC Run 2 data recorded between 2016 and 2018 and show a level of accuracy never before achieved.

Following the success of the emblematic projects funded by P2IO and the need to intensify the links of LabEx partners from high profile international teams, a call for projects was launched for large-scale projects. These projects, called "Flagships", will bring together teams belonging to LabEx P2IO and may lead to major scientific and technological advances.
