At the PS, replacement of the old cooling and ventilation system, which dated back to 1957, is progressing well
The AMS-02 experiment on the International Space Station is performing a long-duration study of cosmic nuclei
Today at 11am, LHCb will present measurements of Z boson production using data collected at a 7 TeVcenter-of-mass energy. Watch the webcast
The CLOUD experiment reports a major advance towards solving a long-standing enigma in climate science: how do aerosols form in the atmosphere?
Issue 7 of Accelerating News, a quarterly publication for the accelerator community, is now available
The LHC’s first long shutdown has provided the opportunity for a major programme of consolidation and improvements on the ATLAS detector
At the LHC, the SMACC project’s consolidation train has just entered Sector 7-8, the third sector to be consolidated
A key observation at the LHC marks a major milestone in a 30-year-long journey
The cryogenic system that cools the LHC's superconducting magnets is the largest and most advanced of its kind
Following the first 3.5 TeV collisions in March 2010, the LHC had three years of improving integrated luminosity
The September issue takes a look behind the scenes at what underpinned the successful operation of the LHC during this first long run
With the IceCube and ANTARES telescopes completed, there was plenty to discuss at the second Workshop on Exotic Physics with Neutrino Telescopes
