CERN Accelerating science

Donations to “Light their Spark”, the regular giving programme of the CERN & Society Foundation, will fuel opportunities for students, teachers and scientists across the world

A round of applause broke out in the CERN Control Centre on 5 July at 4.47 p.m. CEST when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) detectors started recording high-energy collisions at the unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV

The VELO (Vertex Locator), the most recent addition to LHCb, was successfully installed a few weeks before the start of Run 3

The collaboration has observed a new kind of “pentaquark” and the first-ever pair of “tetraquarks”

The collaborations have used the largest samples of proton–proton collision data recorded so far by the experiments to study the unique particle in unprecedented detail

The Large Hadron Collider is ready to once again start delivering proton collisions to experiments, this time at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, marking the start of the accelerator’s third run of data taking for physics

The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider and the progress made since then, have allowed physicists to make tremendous steps forward in our understanding of the universe
