Observation of the doubly charmed heavy proton Ξcc+ at LHCb experiment.
Switzerland has been on top of the adaptation of the data of the brand-new LHCb Run 3 experiment in physics analyses. This new achievement required a quick calibration of the detector developed in direct collaboration with the analysts, where L. Dufour (at EPFL) contributed. Composed of two charm quarks and one down quark, the doubly charmed particle is four times heavier than a proton.
