Whilst the W boson discovery was made at CERN more than 30 years ago, measuring its mass is challenging. The ATLAS experiment at CERN has recently released its first measurement of the W boson mass using LHC data.
Awesome work!

The first two Silicon Vertex Detector ladders made in Melbourne for the Belle II experiment are on their way to KEK laboratory in Tskuba, Japan! Special thanks to the team of physicists and engineers at the University of Melbourne who made this happen: Tommaso Baroncelli, Scott Williams, Tiziano Baroncelli, James Webb, Phillip Urquijo, Stephen Gregory and Geoffrey Taylor. These SVD are being lovingly hand delivered by engineer Tommaso. We wish him the best of luck and a non-turbulent flight!
