Installation first @cern.bsky.social ATLAS ITk Service Module at @nikhef.bsky.social (National Institute for Subatomic Physics). The Service Module consists of a Patch Panel and wiring for 24 Petals (the Si strip detectors). Ultimately, there will be 8 Service Modules for the total of 192 Petals!

This week, I am at the European Gravitational Observatory Virgo together with six @nikhef.bsky.social colleagues discussing the upcoming Virgo upgrade for the so-called 'Stable Recycling Cavities'. It will be operational in 2030.

Veel mensen op de open dag bij @nikhef.bsky.social en ook veel studenten en (wetenschappelijke) collega’s, jong en oud om rond te leiden en vragen te beantwoorden. Foto’s van praatje Flavia de Almeida Dias (Atlas), Bastiaan Nijman (eEDM), de leestafel en Elementary The Game was er ook!

Just had my yearly use-Pythagoras-to-calculate-the-height-of-a-sticker moment, which can only mean one thing: the Science Day of the Amsterdam Science Park (incl @nikhef.bsky.social ) is coming up! Saturday 3 October. Programme will be available here soon: wetenschapsdagamsterdamsciencepark.nl

Stringent limits on CPT- and Lorentz-invariance violation from Bₛ⁰ meson decays - Without assuming Lorentz-invariance violation, the CPT-violating parameter zis measured to be Re(z)=0.018±0.016±0.003 and Im(z)=0.003±0.004±0.002. arxiv.org/abs/2609.02475
