  • Assessing the seismic safety of CERN’s installations

    Assessing the seismic safety of CERN’s installations

    Surrounded by the Alps, the Jura and Lake Geneva, CERN is located in a particularly complex geological setting, which also happens to be a non-negligible earthquake-prone region. Compared to the rest of Europe, Switzerland has a moderate seismic risk, but the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) indicates that earthquake activity is not evenly distributed throughout the

  • Looking back on a good year for physics

    With the accelerator complex having shut down for the year on 28 November, now is a good moment to take stock of the healthy position of our research. This year saw a wealth of new results across the programme. At the LHC, Run 1 and 2 data continue to deliver a rich seam of results.

    CAST-CAPP inches closer to axion dark matter

    The CAPP axion haloscope at the CAST experiment has hunted for axions from the Milky Way’s “halo” of dark matter, and has narrowed down the theoretical space in which to look for these hypothetical particles
