CERN Accelerating science

Substantial contributions to the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics set the stage for discussions that will define the next flagship collider at CERN

Thank you to everyone who took part in the competition, here is the winner and answers

The LHC has restarted and both beams have been circulating in the machine since 8 April, meaning that the start of the LHC beam commissioning during Easter is apparently not a constant of nature

Surprising results from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN show that this so-called isospin asymmetry could point to gaps in physicists’ understanding of how quarks and gluons combine

Data from the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reveals an intriguing excess of top-quark pairs, hinting at the first observation of a composite particle with unique properties

The detection of longitudinally polarised W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is an important step towards understanding how the primordial electroweak symmetry broke, giving rise to the masses of elementary particles

Let’s give up the complexity rules (letters, symbols, numbers) and go for long passwords, i.e. “passphrases”, instead. Long but easy to remember
