This week, we had our Department's winter holiday party. Thanks to everyone who participated, and in particular to our staff, who organized the whole thing. They planned the cutest games, including this "Guess the Carol" emoji one, which was a big hit.

Physics Ph.D. student Caleb Broodo is analyzing high-energy particle collisions at Brookhaven National Lab in New York, using a bus-sized detector.
He’s spending a year at Brookhaven through the DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research Program.

The @LHCbExperiment found evidence of CP violation in baryon decays for the first time this week! #PhysicsFriday
23 Oct 2024
In a universe with only baryons and hardly any anti-baryons it's bizarre that we don't find any CP asymmetry in baryon decays. Now we do. 👏 @lhcbexperiment.

NASA's Europa Clipper has launched this week, on October 14th! It will explore the conditions on Jupiter's moon Europa. #PhysicsFriday
17 Oct 2024
NASA's Europa Clipper is now headed toward an ocean world beyond Earth. The large spacecraft is tucked into the payload fairing atop the Falcon Heavy rocket in this photo, taken at Kennedy Space Center the day before the mission's successful October 14 launch. Europa Clipper's interplanetary voyage will first take it to Mars, then back to Earth, and then on to Jupiter on gravity assist trajectories that will allow it to enter orbit around Jupiter in April 2030. Once orbiting Jupiter, the spacecraft will fly past Europa 49 times, exploring a Jovian moon with a global subsurface ocean that may have conditions to support life. Posing in the background next to the floodlit rocket is Comet Tsuchinsan-ATLAS, about a day after the comet's closest approach to Earth. A current darling of evening skies, the naked-eye comet is a visitor from the distant Oort cloud.
