Hangout with CERN: Upgrading with TALENT (S03E08)

The world's largest particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is preparing to run at higher energies. With collisions on hold, engineers and physicists are busy consolidating and upgrading the accelerator, the experiments and more.
In this week's hangout, researchers from the TALENT project give us an insight into their work to help upgrade the ATLAS detector. Find out how cutting-edge engineering, software and physics analysis are working together to make a gigantic detector even greater!
Host ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb is joined by fellow ATLAS physicist Mar Capeans Garrido, as well as TALENT project Marie Curie fellows: software engineer Rafael Tedin Alvarez from Atostek Oy and physicists Laura Franconi from the University of Oslo and Arno E. Kompatscher from CiS, with Marzena Lapka from the CMS Experiment monitoring social media.
TALENT is an Initial Training Network funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme, with 17 researchers at the start of their careers working in universities, institutes and companies around Europe.
