Corinne Pralavorio works in the CERN communications group, managing the content section's writing team.
The teams are making the final interconnections in the chain of magnets that will be used to test the components of the LHC's successor
An exhibition of old black-and-white photos at Geneva’s Bains des Pâquis retraces some of CERN’s history
The installation of the High-Luminosity LHC test facility continues with the arrival of two magnet assemblies
The LHC’s tenth year of operation ends with exceptional data collection
The experiment has developed a new device for cooling antiprotons more efficiently and for considerably increasing the precision of measurements of their fundamental properties
A prototype superconducting coil developed for the SHiP experiment opens the way for more energy-efficient electromagnets for certain applications
The experiment is designed to detect very feebly interacting particles, including candidate dark-matter particles
In the seventh part of the “LHC Physics at Ten” series, we look at the surprising phenomena of the Standard Model at high energies
Our sixth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series looks at the precision measurements of the Standard Model made at the Large Hadron Collider
A new beam absorber, developed for high luminosity, has been installed in the LHC
It’s the end of Long Shutdown 2 for the PS Booster, the first accelerator to be recommissioned, alongside Linac 4
A superconducting electrical transmission line developed for the High-Luminosity LHC has set a new intensity record
