A first baseline for the layout of the High Luminosity inner triplet and associated magnets has recently been defined
At a seminar at CERN today at 5pm CET, the AMS collaboration will announce its first physics results. Watch the webcast here
Testing of the LHC's main magnet circuits - dipole and quadrupole - has been completed
The 1st International Conference on Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) will be held in Lecce, Italy from 6-8 May 2013
The LHCb collaboration has recently announced new results for a parameter that measures the CP violation effect in particles containing charm quarks
Today's session at the Rencontres de Moriond, on the Standard Model scalar boson, is being web-cast live
The upgrade and maintenance of the LHC (LS1 - first long shutdown) started with the tests of most of the electromagnetic circuits
The LHCb collaboration has now reported a new analysis of the decay chain of an unconventional hadron, the X(3872)
