CERN Accelerating science

A 10% decrease in the LHC's peak luminosity can be explained by changing bunch intensities. Jan Uythoven reports

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has delivered over twice as many collisions to the ATLAS and CMS experiments this year as it did in the whole of 2011

Pier Oddone, director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, announced today that he would be stepping down

Lyn Evans, former Large Hadron Collider project leader, will lead the common effort for the next linear collider as Linear Collider Director

A mixed bag of operations and the development of special optics mean the LHC is on track for as much luminosity as possible before the long shutdown

The LHC has delivered more collisions so far this year than in the whole of 2011 - so many it's overheating the magnets

The Easy Access IP initiative will make it easier for businesses and entrepreneurs to access CERN intellectual property

On 16 March beams in the LHC reached the world-record energy of 4 TeV. Stable-beams mode is planned for 3 weeks from now

On the final day of Quantum Chromodynamics week at Moriond, speakers emphasized the possibility of new physics with the LHC at 4TeV

A variety of new measurements presented at Moriond are helping physicists to close in on the mass of the top quark

With powering tests finished, the LHC is being recommisioned to take beams in the first week of April
