Since my last message in June, I’m happy to say that my nominations for department heads have now been approved at the September session of the CERN Council

The European Strategy for Particle Physics update, decision-making milestones for a future collider at CERN, the United States’ scientific programme and department head appointments were some of the highlights of the 223nd CERN Council session

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial

From 1 October 2025, the UNIQA office will be located back in the Main Building in the newly refurbished CERN Community Support Centre (CCSC)

All members and beneficiaries of the Pension Fund are invited to attend the Annual Information Meeting, which will take place on Tuesday, 14 October 2025

A new LHCb analysis confirms a previously observed tension with the Standard Model, but more data and improved theoretical calculations are needed to determine whether new physics is at play

On 13 October you’re invited to Campus Development Day, where tours and an exhibition will showcase how an environmentally responsible, safer and more welcoming CERN is taking shape

The LHC pre-injectors delivered excellent availability throughout recent weeks, while an SPS electrical fault and an LHC collimator vacuum leak have been overcome, allowing a successful return to full luminosity production

The first high-energy collisions between light nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and offer up a new tool to study the extreme state of matter produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang

What is the connection between giraffes and nonviolent communication? What links Lao Tzu with Building 593? Time to find out – time to go back to school
