These two last weeks have been a highlight of LHC operation, delivering record luminosity
Higher intensity beams are circulating in the LHC providing more and more collisions to the experiments
A new bi-annual “On Track” newsletter provides news and results from the AIDA-2020 European project and the wider detector community
The intensity ramp-up of the LHC beams resumed last Friday after the main powering system of the PS accelerator was put back in service
Jack Steinberger, Nobel Prize in Physics 1988 and one of the pioneers of neutrino research, celebrates his 95th birthday today.
CERN invites abstract applications for the workshop, which will investigate how CERN's accelerators can help solve questions of particle physics
Pushing the boundaries of current technology to extend the discovery potential of the LHC
Electrical equipment that was damaged by the beech marten has been repaired. The LHC is back on track with ever higher beam intensity.
With physics data-taking under way this week at the LHC, I’d like to take a look at what’s been happening at the rest of the CERN accelerator chain.
A design for a Lego LHC needs about 3000 more signatures for Lego to consider it for a new product
The LHC and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data for 2016
The recommissioning of the LHC is going well: the machine has delivered first pilot Stable Beams collisions.
