The First Year of the Large Hadron Collider: A Brief Review

The first year of LHC data taking provided an integrated luminosity of about 35/pb in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The accelerator and the experiments have demonstrated an excellent performance. The experiments have obtained important physics results in many areas, ranging from tests of the Standard Model to searches for new particles. Among other results the physics highlights have been the measurements of the W-, Z-boson and t t-bar production cross-sections, improved limits on supersymmetric and other hypothetical particles and the observation of jet-quenching, elliptical flow and J/Psi suppression in lead-lead collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV.

Report from the IUPAP Commission on Particles and Fields (C11)

The Commission 11 (C11) on Particles and Fields of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) supervises the organization of the main conferences in particle physics. In the period 2007-2008 it has been active in the oversight and venue selection for the ICHEP and Lepton Photon Conferences, establishment of the new conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics (TIPP), the selection of the prize winners for the IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Particle Physics and the establishment of a working group on the "Assessment of Individual Achievements in Large Collaborations in Particle Physics".
