Interview with Razmik Mirzoyan and Stefan Wagner on their successful measurements of GRBs with MAGIC and H.E.S.S. On 14 January 2019, Swift has reported the detection of a long GRB 190114C (GCN #23688). The MAGIC telescopes started observations of this GRB about 50 s after the Swift-BAT alert, reaching more than 20 sigma of significance
The APPEC General Assembly (GA) came together in Lisbon at the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP). The meeting started on the evening of 2 December with an excellent dinner, which was already used for first informal discussions. On the next day the APPEC Chair Teresa Montaruli and the local organizer and representative

A new instrument mounted atop a telescope in Arizona has aimed its robotic array of 5,000 fiber-optic “eyes” at the night sky to capture the first images showing its unique view of galaxy light. It was the first test of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, known as DESI, with its nearly complete complement of components.

Interview with Anatael Cabrera on the development of an opaque scintillator. In this issue we would like to give Anatael Cabrera the opportunity to present his new development of a liquid scintillation detector — “LiquidO”. In contrast to established scintillators, which are transparent, LiquidO consists of an opaque scintillator and a dense array of fibres.

The APPEC General Assembly and the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) appointed a sub-committee to discuss the searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay and the future of the European programme. This sub-committee should advise APPEC on the European (and international) programme in double beta decay physics. It should report to the APPEC SAC, providing an
