International Meetings about the Belle II Experiment
6-10 February 2012
About hundred Experts from all around the globe meet in Vienna in February to talk about the present situation of the Japanese Belle II experiment.
The topics of the first meeting are the core elements of the experiment, Pixel Detector (PXD) and Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) - HEPHY as the host institute holds the primary responsibility for the latter.
Concepts for the reduction of the radiation background are discussed at the subsequent "Background" Meeting among experts of both Belle II and the similar Italian SuperB projects. In both experiments, particle beams will collide with intensities far beyond the rate at the LHC experiments at CERN.

Students of the pGORG St. Ursula school in Vienna dealt in a very creative way with the topics of particle physics - they designed comics! The best works are presented here.
When in September the spectacular news about the possible observation of superluminal neutrinos from CERN hit the media, we received a lot of inquiries, one of which stood out: 9-year-old Emil wrote: "I am so excited, because neutrinos seem to be faster than light - can you tell me more about it? I'd love to go to CERN!". On December 11th, his wish came true...
The Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences invites to a live broadcast of the seminar at CERN, where the CMS and the ATLAS Experiment report on the recent results on their search for the Higgs Boson.
Participation by invitation only.
