  • 1,000-board contribution to CERN upgrade by SU clears pre-production

    A pre-production run of radiation-hard readout boards for the ATLAS experiment at CERN has been completed at the Department of Physics, Stockholm University. The work, carried out across the department's ELPA and Instrumentation divisions, includes Oskar Klein Cectre researchers Christophe Clément (Professor, ELPA) and PhD student Julia Salwén (ELPA), with PhD student Federico Bonaldo recently joining the team. The yield from the pre-production batch came in well above CERN's threshold, and the results were presented to an international expert panel at CERN on 12 May.

    Swedish Municipal Plans Overlook the Importance of Everyday School Life in Children's Mental Health

    Schools play a key role in promoting the mental health of children and young people. However, approaches to the school's role in this work appear to vary across municipalities. In addition, schools' contribution to mental health promotion and prevention is often treated as separate from their core educational mission. This is the conclusion of a new public health study from Stockholm University.
