ATLAS and CMS recognise longstanding industrial partner Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.
With this award, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations recognise the crucial role Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has played in the development and production of advanced technologies, as well as the ongoing, deeply rooted partnership that has been established with both experiments over many years. Through this close collaboration, Hamamatsu Photonics has made exceptional contributions to the

CERN begins beryllium beam-pipe production
Supported by CERN and the LHC experiment collaborations, the workshop will construct essential components for HiLumi LHC and future particle physics experiments

LHCb discovers the final missing member of a doubly charmed particle family
The LHCb Collaboration has found a new particle consisting of one strange quark and two charm quarks. With this finding, the Collaboration has discovered the final member of a family of doubly charmed baryons – particles made up of two charm quarks and one other quark – and closes a chapter of a story that

LHC season finale, up next… HiLumi
Join scientists in the CERN Control Centre as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) delivers its last collisions to its experiments before it is transformed into a high luminosity machine. Host Davide De Biasio will guide you through the journey of the world’s most powerful particle collider through conversations with the Head of LHC Operations, the

Accelerator Report: From protons to ions – the LHC and its injectors prepare for the Run 3 finale
At 6 a.m. on 19 May, the LHC Run 3 proton physics programme officially came to an end. Thanks to the excellent performance and availability of both the LHC and its injector chain, this year’s integrated luminosity surpassed all expectations, with all four main LHC experiments recording values well above the original projections (fig. 1).

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

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

LHCb Collaboration discovers new proton-like particle
Composed of two charm quarks and one down quark, the doubly charmed particle is four times heavier than a proton

Machine learning to reveal more about LHC particle collisions
The CMS Collaboration demonstrates that machine learning can outperform traditional methods in the full reconstruction of particle collisions at the LHC
