CERN Accelerating science

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

The latest searches conducted by the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider considerably shrink the theoretical arenas in which the hunt for magnetic monopoles can continue

Helge Ravn was part of the ISOLDE group from the beginning. When ISOLDE began operations at CERN in 1967, it was unique in the world

CERN’s expertise in data management is leveraged to combat marine plastic litter through the new EU project, Edge SpAIce
