I have been running this project for several years. I like the new site comparing to the old one, but I wish you could keep the project running.

Major electronics system to unravel the mysteries of the Universe
The CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire has successfully delivered a major electronics system, called the Tracker FED Readout, for the latest project at the European Centre for Particle Physics, CERN, in Geneva. The system will process the vast quantities of data to be generated by the world's largest silicon tracking detector - part of the international Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility at CERN. The CMS experiment will be used to study the conditions in the Universe just after the Big Bang.
