The third installment of the In Practice series examines what fuels experimental physicists to work together and analyse mountains of data
The commissioning of ELENA, a new antiproton deceleration ring, has begun
The Train Inspection Monorail (TIM) is equipped with a camera and several measurement sensors to monitor the LHC tunnel in real-time
NA64 is a new experiment at CERN searching for a particle called the dark photon, which might act as a bridge to the universe’s invisible, dark sector
In part 2 of our In Practice series, CERN’s experimental physicists explain what personalities and qualities make the best physicists
Today, the representatives of CERN and of the Government of India signed an Agreement admitting India to CERN as an Associate Member. The Government of India still needs to notify CERN of its final approval for the Agreement to enter into force.
The LHCf experiment begins its annual run to study cosmic rays
After having accelerated a beam up to the design energy of 160 MeV, Linac 4 is now entering a new phase of its commissioning
Discover how experimental physicists build their incredible experiments and massive collaborations
For the third time ever the LHC today began colliding beams of protons with lead ions to probe the early universe from which matter emerged
A new exhibition, which hopes to answer, at least in part, questions that have bothered humans for centuries, has recently opened in Vienna
CERN hosts its fourth TEDxCERN – “Ripples of Curiosity” – to explore how ideas in science, technology and education are converging and creating waves
