CERN Accelerating science

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

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

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

Fundamental research at the ISOLDE and n_TOF facilities at CERN has applications in a wide variety of areas of astrophysics, medical physics, energy and more

CERN’s core values include making research open and accessible for everyone. A new policy now brings together existing open science initiatives to ensure a bright future based on transparency and collaboration at CERN.

In light of the current global energy supply and cost crisis, and as part of its social responsibility, CERN will be implementing measures that will significantly reduce the Laboratory’s energy consumption in 2022 and 2023
