Stephane Willocq is a professor of physics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (USA). He is involved in the upgrade of the muon trigger with MDT chambers for the high luminosity LHC and is currently serving as the ATLAS Physics Coordinator. Previous ATLAS roles include muon software coordinator, Exotics group convener, and publications committee chair. His physics interests focus on searches for new phenomena involving Higgs bosons decaying into a pair of b-quarks.

Physicists gather online for the Large Hadron Collider Physics conference

The eighth Large Hadron Collider Physics (LHCP 2020) conference concluded today, 30 May, in Zoom rooms around the world. Instead of descending on Paris to meet, particle physicists held the conference fully online for the first time. As a result, LHCP 2020 welcomed some 1300 registered participants – nearly triple its previous record of attendance. A bumper crop of new ATLAS results were prepared for the conference covering a broad range of topics, from precise measurements of the Standard Model to novel searches for new physics. These new results probed the full dataset collected during Run 2 of the LHC (2015-2018) – a proven gold mine for ATLAS’ rich physics programme.
