After being closed to the public for nearly 15 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CERN is delighted to gradually reopen its doors to visitors as of 1 June 2021
Leptoquarks, the Higgs boson and the muon’s magnetism
A new study shows that a class of new unknown particles that could account for the muon’s magnetism, known as leptoquarks, could also affect the Higgs boson’s transformation into muons
ALICE finds that charm hadronisation differs at the LHC
New measurements by the ALICE collaboration show that the way charm quarks form hadrons in proton-proton collisions differs significantly from expectations based on electron collider measurements
Computer Security: The truth lies in the URL
Like last year, every CERN staff member and user received a fake message posing as a malicious attempt to convince them to click on the embedded link...

Physicists seek to replace harmful chlorofluorocarbons with novel “eco-gases”
LHCb measures tiny mass difference between particles
The result is a milestone in the study of how a particle known as a D0 meson changes from matter into antimatter and back
First ATLAS New Small Wheel nears completion
On Friday 28 May 2021, the final "wedge" of the first ATLAS New Small Wheel was installed in the detector. This was an important milestone for the Collaboration, in preparation for the wheel’s installation in the ATLAS cavern later this summer
