CERN Accelerating science

The LHCb collaboration has released data from Run 1 of the LHC to the public for the first time, allowing research to be conducted by anyone in the world

Simultaneous measurements of rare B-meson decays using the full LHC Run 1 and 2 data samples agree with the predictions of the Standard Model, superseding previous results that had indicated intriguing departures from the 50-year old theory

Highlights of the year at CERN, from the record-breaking start of LHC Run 3 to great particle physics results and much more

On Friday, 18 November, a test using collisions of lead ions was carried out in the LHC and provided an opportunity for the experiments to validate the new detectors and new data-processing systems ahead of next year’s lead-lead physics run.

The CAPP axion haloscope at the CAST experiment has hunted for axions from the Milky Way’s “halo” of dark matter, and has narrowed down the theoretical space in which to look for these hypothetical particles

The finding will help space- and balloon-based searches for antimatter that may have originated from dark matter

Selected out of more than 22 500 applicants, CERN engineer Sławosz Uznański from Poland has been chosen as one of the 11 members of the ESA 2022 astronaut class in the reserve pool

CERN and Airbus UpNext sign a collaboration agreement to assess the use of superconducting technologies for future low-emission aeroplanes

The event discussed the latest developments in quantum technologies and identified activities within particle physics and beyond that can most benefit from their application

CERN, CHUV and THERYQ have signed an agreement for the development of a revolutionary FLASH radiotherapy device

The decay width is linked to the particle’s lifetime and if found to deviate from its predicted value could indicate the presence of new physics
