The rarest hyperon decay ever observed

Re-analysing LHC Run 2 data with cutting-edge analysis techniques allowed CMS physicists to address an old discrepancy

Ted Wilson was involved in the design of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and played a leading role in its commissioning

The CMS collaboration has searched for new physics in a rare decay of a known particle, using an approach that can be likened to shaking a box containing a birthday present to find a clue about what’s inside

Violette Brisson played an active part in the discovery of neutral currents; she was head of the Gargamelle group at the Laboratory of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris

The LHCb experiment is revamping its electromagnetic calorimeter with new high-performance modules and equipping its ring-imaging Cherenkov detectors with very fast electronics

Kjell Johnsen was Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) project leader when the accelerator was built

The FASER and FORMOSA collaborations team up to test a demonstrator experiment to detect particles with a tiny electrical charge

Using a cutting-edge AI algorithm, the CMS collaboration has obtained the first evidence of CP violation in the decay of the strange beauty meson into a pair of muons and a pair of electrically charged kaons

Georges Charpak received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1968 invention of the multi-wire proportional chamber, which revolutionised particle detection
