The “XV Seminar on Software for Nuclear, Subnuclear and Applied Physics” is organised by INFN-Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, University of Sassari and the “Centro Siciliano di Fisica Nucleare e Struttura della Materia”. It will be held at Porto Conte Hotel from May 27th – June 1st 2018, Alghero (Sardinia, Italy). The Seminar is aimed at PhD students and researchers, interested on software and its applications. It is structured in topical didactical units, lectures and practical sessions on the recent software developed for fundamental physics as well as for applied physics. This year, seminars will be focused on Medical Physics. Moreover, an official beginner course on the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit will be organised within the seminar, featuring lessons and practical exercises given by Geant4 Collaborators. The Seminar will also include a basic course on FPGA programming techniques.

A limited number of grants is available to cover fee and accommodation expenses. Registration is open (deadline is May 10th, 2018) and all information can be found at the page: http://agenda.infn.it/event/AlgheroSeminar2018.

Editorial – Scanning Khufu’s Pyramid with atmospheric muons

In a publication in Nature in December 2017 [1], teams of the ScanPyramids project [2] announced the discovery of a hitherto unknown big void in Khufu’s Pyramid in Egypt, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Pyramid of Cheops [3]. The void was found by scanning the internal structure of the pyramid using the abundant flux of atmospheric muons
