Studying beautiful flavour transitions
Studying rare processes is part and parcel of particle physics, providing stringent tests of the Standard Model. At the recent International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP), the CMS and LHCb Collaborations presented their latest research into one such process: the transformation of a beauty quark into a strange quark, a muon and the oppositely charged antimuon (b→sμ+μ–). Flavour transitions – when

Continuous Improvement gains momentum at CERN
In January, the Continuous Improvement (CI) Team launched the CERNidée portal as one way for the CERN community to share ideas for simplifying processes, improving services and removing obstacles in their daily work. Suggestions arrived at an average rate of more than one per CERN working day during the first half of 2026. Continuous improvement is about transforming these ideas

LS3 Safety Spotlight: coordinating activities at CERN: monitoring activities – a key step
As mentioned in our previous articles, CERN has put in place a structure to manage and oversee concurrent activities during Long Shutdown 3 (LS3). One of the key measures is the monitoring of activities on the ground. Why monitor? In addition to being a regulatory requirement, monitoring makes it possible to check that work is
