CERN anual report for 2017 is already available. In this report, Fabiola Gianotti In this report ATLAS/LHC it is shown that ATLAS/LHC is considered a flagship of CERN and NA-64 is recognized as an important project. The full reporte can be found here.
During July and August 2017, technicians and engineers have been working at CERN installations to assemble the first stgc Wedge. This complex process consists on joining the different sTGC detectors that have been fabricated on each construction site and joining them in one piece. The Anillo 1406 project has sent 2 engineers, Rimsky Rojas and David Kouyoumdjian during these months in order to participate activity in the ATLAS collaboration.
Tuesday 5th, June 2017, a date that will be remembered in the Anillo 1406 project history. One day before, Francisco Martinez had gone to to show doctors of Clínica Universidad Católica in Santiago his finally completed inter-operative gamma probe.
Doctors were so pleased with the device that asked if they could test it in a real surgery, so they left the probe sterilizing for 10 hours and got the approval of the patient to use. Next day, and for the first time in Chile’s history, a successful radio-guided Laparoscopic surgery for endometrial Cancer was performed by Jorge Brañes, doctor of Clínica Universidad Católica (Santiago, Chile).
This achievement was possible due to the ideas of professor Serguei Kuleshov, with the collaboration and help of Francisco Martinez.
Rimsky Rojas, a young researcher of the Anillo 1406 Project participated in the 38th international conference on High Energy Physics in Chicago, United States. Rimsky, who is currently working in the ATLAS Upgrade project, presented the subject: Small-StripThin Gap Chambers for the Muon Spectrometer Upgrade of the ATLAS Experiment.
This conference is considered to be the most important conference of it’s type in the world and is held once every two years.
FLASY 2016: 6th Workshop on Flavour Symmetries and Consequences in Accelerators and Cosmology
FLASY 2016 is the sixth workshop on flavor symmetries. The workshop brings together researchers in the fields of flavor symmetries, neutrino physics, phenomenology, and cosmology.
This year’s edition is hold at the Federico Santa María University in Valparaiso-Chile, a city with a spectacular architecture, intriguing cultural atmosphere and cradle of great writers like Pablo Neruda.
Topics
* Flavor and CP symmetries interplay
* Flavor symmetry models
* Model building alternatives to flavor symmetries
* Symmetry characterization of CKM and lepton mixing
* 0νββ decay and neutrino oscillation experiments
* Lepton flavor violating processes
* Higgs LFV decays
* Flavor and cosmology
* The 750 GeV diphoton excess
* Sterile neutrinos and neutrino anomalies
* Current B anomalies

In the video it is showed how the kuka robot moves . The results obtained by this test will be presented to the ATLAS collaboration members soon.
Three new technicians have been hired to work in the sTGC fabrication.
Initially, they will be learning about the whole fabrication process, and then they will start polishing the cathodes until a superficial impedance of 100k has been achieved.
The ACT1406 Anillo Project Webpage has been created. This site will be updated at a regular basis and will contain all information related to the project, from image galleries to publications. This is a responsive site, which means it will be automatically adapted when opened in tablets or cell phones.
