Corinne Pralavorio works in the CERN communications group, managing the content section's writing team.
Pass on CERN’s passion for science at Geneva’s Automnales fair, where the Laboratory will be the guest of honour.
Partially ionised xenon atoms have been accelerated in the SPS to test a new gamma-ray source concept
The LHC is operating for several hours with the nuclei of xenon atoms
The restaurant area for official lunches and dinners has been renovated to create an elegant and high-tech setting
Intensity tests have been successfully completed on the FRESCA2 magnet. It will serve as a test bench for the development of more powerful magnets
Superconductors are the primary focus of next week’s major EUCAS 2017 conference, which will also include events aimed at the general public
The first of the 28 radio-frequency cavities for the PS Booster’s new acceleration system is ready
The chain of accelerators that prepare beams for the LHC also supplies myriad experiments
On the 5th anniversary of the Higgs discovery announcement, we asked you where you were when you heard this result
The Large Hadron Collider has established a new record of luminosity, delivering a huge amount of data to its experiments
The LHC has been accelerating more and more protons, and to allow the machine to reach its maximum intensity, it will undergo a thorough scrubbing.
Ten years after it was approved, CERN’s new accelerator is officially inaugurated
