… be as critical. There’s also the concern as to who will succeed Biden. It could be Trump again, or someone in the Trumpian mould.” Europe’s reticence to follow Biden’s hard line towards China shows that it wants to go its own way in security and military affairs, Vanhoonacker says. “There’s been a growing awareness since the end of the Cold War in 1989.

Change of plans “Preparation for the 2021 upgrade already started around ten years ago”, says Dr. Daniel Cámpora, whose PhD work became the catalyst for a change of plans. “For a long time, the idea was to install better versions of current hardware: faster processors, for example.” Processors, also known as … had achieved so far. They concluded that GPUs were a viable solution.” The external experts were right. Last month, a final decision was made: the LHCb detector’s first trigger system will be powered by graphics cards when the Large Hadron Collider restarts, like Dr. Cámpora and his colleagues proposed. “It’s extremely satisfying”, he beams. “This project is really a part of me.” Early Career Scientist Award At the time Dr. Cámpora told us this story, he was unaware that things were about to get …
