Giovanni and Chris will face the huge challenges of completing the run 2 data taking and preparing for the major LHCb detector upgrade to be installed during Long Shutdown 2, LS2. In the meantime they dream that the analysis of the Run 2 data could yield the discovery of new physics!
Guy and Monica – thank you for your excellent coordination in the past three years.
Giovanni and Chris – good luck.
