Laboratory

Summary

The Laboratory of High Energy Physics (LPHE) at EPFL is specialized in particle physics, conducting research in collaboration with international partners. LPHE is actively involved in the LHCb experiment at CERN, focusing on CP violation studies, new particle searches, and rare decays. The unit's research activities require advancements in particle detection, signal processing electronics, and computing. LPHE offers teaching at all university levels, including specialized courses in elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, and particle detection techniques. The unit provides opportunities for Master's projects and offers positions as teaching assistants and doctoral assistants. LPHE's work is predominantly carried out within international collaborations at CERN.

Aurelio Bay

Aurelio Bay graduated in physics at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) in 1980 and got his PhD degree from the same institution in 1986 for a work on the determination of the axial form factor of the ? meson. He then went to Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories (LBL), USA as a post doc for two years, where he worked on the TPC/2? Electromagnetic Calorimeter and the SSC/LHC detector. He then came back to Europe and was named Maître Assistant at University of Geneva till 1994, where he started working at the L3 experiment of LEP at CERN. He was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Lausanne in 1994 and Full Professor in 1998, continuing working at LEP, LEP2 and LHCb at CERN , and starting a collaboration at BELLE experiment at KEK, Tsukuba (Japan). At the University of Lausanne he was Director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Deputy Director of the Physics Department and Deputy of the Dean of the Faculty of Sciences. In 2003, following the merge of UNIL physics department into the EPFL School of Basic Sciences, he was appointed Full Professor at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and Director of the EPFL Laboratory of High Energy Physics.
