Transient—Cloud Chamber, a detector installation turning cosmic muons into trails of light and sound

Transient—Cloud Chamber is a project that offers a mesmerising interaction with cosmic particles, turning cosmic muons into real-time trails of light and sound, revealing the ephemeral beauty of the cosmos.

Scouting the flow of data for the future High Luminosity LHC

How to manage large amounts of data without losing any interesting ones? The selection of data concerning particle collisions in the LHC is critical since it will determine all the resulting analyses. This is the decisive work of a novel scouting system located at the beginning of the data chain.
