CERN Accelerating science

Data from the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reveals an intriguing excess of top-quark pairs, hinting at the first observation of a composite particle with unique properties

The detection of longitudinally polarised W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is an important step towards understanding how the primordial electroweak symmetry broke, giving rise to the masses of elementary particles

Let’s give up the complexity rules (letters, symbols, numbers) and go for long passwords, i.e. “passphrases”, instead. Long but easy to remember

Marion Tampon-Lajarriette has been awarded the inaugural residency of Resonance, a programme run by Arts at CERN in partnership with the Republic and Canton of Geneva and the City of Geneva

The Statement of Intent between CERN and Canada concerns future planning for large research infrastructure facilities, and novel and advanced techniques and tools

The AEgIS collaboration, led by a team from the Technical University of Munich, has repurposed smartphone camera sensors to create a detector capable of imaging antiproton annihilations in real time with unprecedented resolution

Released today, a report of a study investigating the project’s feasibility will serve as input for the European Strategy for Particle Physics and be assessed by the CERN Council in the coming months

The findings could help to explain the species’ fascinating flocking behaviour

Recently, the Computer Security Office reported on a cybersecurity incident at a remote Tier 2 site of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG)

The first beam-based physics of 2025 has started and more will follow soon. However, some unexpected challenges will cause a small delay in the restart of the LHC
