CERN Accelerating science

Forty years ago today, physicists at CERN announced to the world that they had discovered the electrically charged carrier of the weak force, one of nature’s four fundamental forces

CMS has now released the complete set of proton-proton data taken from LHC Run 1, including the original findings used in the Higgs boson discovery

The LHCb collaboration has released data from Run 1 of the LHC to the public for the first time, allowing research to be conducted by anyone in the world

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
