At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

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
The experiment, which will complement existing searches for dark matter at the LHC, will be operational in 2021
The CMS collaboration at CERN has submitted its first paper based on the full LHC dataset collected in 2018 and data collected in 2016 and 2017
