CERN announces the Collide@CERN artists’ residency programme
Geneva, 2 September 2011. A new kind of collision will soon be taking place at CERN1’s Geneva laboratory. The Collide @ CERN artists’ residency programme means that, as well as colliding particles, CERN will be bringing scientific and artistic creativity into contact. The programme was announced today at the Ars Electronica festival in Linz, Austria.

CERN’s LHCb experiment takes precision physics to a new level
Geneva, 26 August 2011. Results to be presented by CERN1’s LHCb experiment at the biennial Lepton-Photon conference in Mumbai, India on Saturday 27 August are becoming the most precise yet on particles called B mesons, which provide a way to investigate matter-antimatter asymmetry. The LHCb experiment studies this phenomenon by observing the way B mesons

CERN’s CLOUD experiment provides unprecedented insight into cloud formation
Geneva, 25 August 2011. In a paper published in the journal Nature today, the CLOUD1 experiment at CERN2 has reported its first results. The CLOUD experiment has been designed to study the effect of cosmic rays on the formation of atmospheric aerosols – tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the atmosphere – under controlled

LHC experiments present latest results at Mumbai conference
Geneva, 22 August 2011. Results from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, presented at the biennial Lepton-Photon conference in Mumbai, India today, show that the elusive Higgs particle, if it exists, is running out of places to hide. Proving or disproving the existence the Higgs boson, which was postulated in the 1960s as part of a

CERN supports European Year of Volunteering through Citizen Cyberscience Centre
Geneva, 8 August 2011. Today, researchers at CERN1 began public testing of a new version of the popular volunteer computing project LHC@home2. This version allows volunteers to participate for the first time in simulating high-energy collisions of protons in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Thus, volunteers can now actively help physicists in the search for

CERN to host Product Lifecycle Management Conference
Geneva, 2 August 2011. CERN1 is to host the Geneva International Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Conference on September 6-7, 2011. The focus of the Conference is the successful implementation and use of PLM. The Conference will address PLM across the product lifecycle – innovation; development; manufacturing; use/support; retirement/disposal. The provisional Conference Agenda includes speakers from

CERN experiment weighs antimatter with unprecedented accuracy
Geneva, 28 July 2011. In a paper published today in the journal Nature, the Japanese-European ASACUSA experiment at CERN1 reported a new measurement of the antiproton’s mass accurate to about one part in a billion. Precision measurements of the antiproton mass provide an important way to investigate nature’s apparent preference for matter over antimatter. “This
