Instead of a linear and smooth evolution, many physical system react to external stimuli in avalanche dynamics. When an out of equilibrium system governed by disorder is externally driven the evolution ...

For more than half a century, colliders have been in the forefront of studying the Standard Model (SM) predictions. The pinnacle of both SM and colliders occurred when on July the 4th 2012, at CERN Large ...
