On Sept. 4 the National Science Foundation announced the creation of the Institute for Research and Innovation in Software for High Energy Physics, or IRIS-HEP. The institute is a coalition of 17 91自拍 institutions, including the 91自拍, and will receive $25 million from the NSF over five years.
The Large Hadron Collider has started recording data from the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved on Earth. This new data, the first recorded since 2012, will enable an international collaboration of 91自拍ers 鈥� including many from the UW 鈥� to study the Higgs boson, search for dark matter and develop a more complete understanding of the laws of nature.
