Beams of protons are again circulating around the collider’s 27-kilometre ring, marking the end of a multiple-year hiatus for upgrade work
A step-by-step approach to environmentally responsible commuting and duty travel
Precise knowledge of the top-quark mass is of paramount importance to understand our world at the smallest scale
New ATLAS and CMS analyses place tight limits on the strength of the Higgs boson's interaction with the charm quark
The collaboration has tackled challenging supersymmetry scenarios, surpassing long-standing limits set by the LEP collider
The finding may help determine whether or not any antimatter seen by experiments in space originates from dark matter
The new detector, known as MAPP, will increase the physics reach of the MoEDAL experiment and the Large Hadron Collider
On 4 July 2012, half a century’s wait came to an end as the ATLAS and CMS experiments announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. Ten years on, we mark the occasion and look forward to a bright future for Higgs research.
