Official notification that Turkey has ratified Association Agreement arrived at CERN today
This morning, for the first time in two years, proton-proton collisions were delivered to the LHC experiments at injection energy: 450 GeV per beam
The first acceleration module of HIE-ISOLDE has been installed. The new accelerator will increase the energy of CERN’s nuclear physics facility
CERN's official engagement with the arts announces three winning art projects and an open call for Collide @ CERN in digital arts
The world’s largest liquid-argon neutrino detector will find a new home across the Atlantic Ocean at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station will be the focus of the three-day “AMS Days at CERN” meeting
Last night the LHC operations team successfully circulated a beam at 6.5 TeV - one of many steps before the LHC can deliver collisions to experiments
With proton beams back in the LHC, operations experts have weeks of work to do before they can collide beams in experiments at the energy of 13 TeV
The first of the 16 magnetic sectors in the main storage ring of the future light source in Jordan has successfully passed its tests at CERN
After two years of intense maintenance and consolidation the Large Hadron Collider is back in operation
The first beams could be circulating in the machine sometime between Saturday and Monday
