The CERN Council decided to update the European Strategy for Particle Physics
Today, following more than two years of intense work of the European particle physics community under the auspices of the European Strategy Group, the CERN Council updated the European Strategy for Particle Physics [link to Resolution], which sets out an ambitious scientific vision for the field. The 2026 Strategy update offers a clear path to

Cloudy with a chance of muons
When you want to capture an important moment in your life, you often take a photo. You could write down the key details instead – who you were with, where you were, the time of day – but this information might not be as impactful as a picture of the event. Physicists like to record

The public consultation process for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project begins in Switzerland and France
The public consultation process for the CERN-led Future Circular Collider (FCC) project will soon begin in Switzerland and France. These four months of exchanges and dialogue with the public are part of the preparations for a final decision on the project. As the CERN Council, comprising representatives of all the Organization’s Member States, prepares to update the European Strategy

Smarter decisions at the speed of physics
Smart and fast decision making is key when dealing with the onslaught of collisions at the LHC. At the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the ATLAS and CMS experiments are expected to process detector data at rates corresponding to roughly a quarter of the 2025 global internet traffic. All in real time, as part of the
