So far the summer run has seen solid progress in luminosity production, but also some unexpected beam and machine behaviour. Careful monitoring revealed a hardware issue, now being closely watched as the LHC continues to perform at full capacity.
CERN’s 2025 Summer Student programmes welcomed 341 young scientists and engineers from more than 100 nations to experience the cutting edge of particle physics research.
AI data analysis techniques developed at CERN were showcased during a side event of INC-5.2 – the United Nations intergovernmental negotiating committee meeting in Geneva to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution
An experiment carried out at CERN’s ISOLDE facility has determined the western shore of a small island of atomic nuclei, where conventional nuclear rules break down
Following the successful oxygen and neon ion runs, protons are back in the LHC, delivering luminosity at a high rate and slowly catching up with the forecast production rate. In addition, a slight increase of the bunch intensity is being considered
Unsolicited marketing and fraudulent calls are unfortunately very common nowadays. Although total protection is impossible, the CERN Telephony Service has implemented several mechanisms to reduce such annoying calls to all CERN telephone numbers
"Collision(s)", a play based on a meeting between a playwright and a CERN particle physicist, was performed at the “Avignon Off” Festival on 18 July: a deep dive into the interactions between poets and scientists
