CERN Accelerating science

Construction of CERN’s Science Gateway is to start later this year, following receipt of official permission from the Geneva authorities. This unique facility is due to open to the public at the end of 2022

The CERN Quantum Technology Initiative will explore the potential of devices harnessing perplexing quantum phenomena such as entanglement to enrich and expand its challenging research programme

The NA63 collaboration has made a high-precision study of the phenomenon of radiation reaction, using particle beams and crystals

CERN’s Timepix particle detectors, developed by the Medipix2 Collaboration, help unravel the secret of a long-lost painting by the great Renaissance master, Raphael

CERN and the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) are collaborating to develop the conceptual design of an innovative radiotherapy facility, used for cancer treatment

As time moves on and the community gets organised, new computing-related solutions and collaborations unfold to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic

Linac 4 has taken over from the retired Linac 2 as the first accelerator in the LHC injection chain

The refurbished detector was lowered into the ALICE cavern and installed in the experiment in August

All research-quality data from proton–proton collisions recorded by CMS during the first two years of LHC operation are now publicly available

The particle, which has been called X(2900), was detected by analysing all the data LHCb has recorded so far from collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

The finding is significant for both fundamental and medical research, as the element is a promising candidate for cancer treatment by targeted alpha therapy

The CERN Neutrino Platform has proved a major success in enabling European participation in long-baseline neutrino projects in the US and Japan
