LHC@home's Theory application will tomorrow pass the milestone of 5 TRILLION simulated events. This project, under its earlier name "Test4Theory", began production in 2011 and was the first BOINC project anywhere to use Virtual Machine technology (based on CERN's CernVM system).

Over the coming weeks we plan to publish some more details about all this on the LHC@home and CERN websites. Our timetables have of course been affected by the Coronavirus disruptions, but we absolutely could not miss announcing and celebrating such a milestone as this.

The whole LHC@home team sends our sincerest thanks to all our volunteers for enabling this achievement !!
