The latest CS3 conference, a key event for the cloud storage community, was held in Rome at the end of January
CERN will host a scientific symposium to celebrate 40 years of physics with the SPS
Researchers from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are developing a new application based on one of the experiment’s particle detectors
The LHCb collaboration has observed a phenomenon known as CP violation in the decays of a particle known as a D0 meson for the first time
The new particle, dubbed the ψ3(1D), was observed in data recorded between 2011 and 2018
A 1000+ page report quantifies the physics potential of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider
As-yet-undiscovered particles may lie waiting in tube that carried particles for collision within CMS
As the Web turns 30, particle physics continues to blaze a trail in open science
Registration now open – Deadline for applications 3 May 2019
Registration is now open for the CERN Accelerator School’s course on Advanced Accelerator Physics, to be held in Slangerup, Denmark, from 9 to 21 June 2019
The result sets bounds on grand unified theories, which might fill gaps in the Standard Model of particle physics
