The Open Data Portal makes data from real collision events at the LHC openly available to all
On Wednesday, 10 September, the last NA62 straw tracker chamber was lowered into position in the experiment
In CERN’s 60th year, the first proof of the existence of the Higgs boson earns a Guinness World Record for CERN, ATLAS and CMS
Issue 11 of Accelerating News, a quarterly publication for the accelerator community, is now available
Applications now open for beam time requests at the HiRadMat facility at CERN SPS
A team is on call 24 hours a day to monitor technical systems and quickly respond to alerts across CERN's accelerator complex
Today the ISOLDE installation restarted its physics programme with beams from the Proton Synchrotron Booster
Physicists from across the globe bring a welcome richness to the LHC experiments, says former ATLAS spokesperson Peter Jenni
Experiments in the East Area received their first beams from the PS last week. Theirs is CERN's first accelerator-based physics since LS1 began
A new committee is providing direction on the case for an electron–hadron collider, both at the LHC and at a Future Circular Collider complex
In preparation for the LHC's next run, physicists are calibrating the ATLAS experiment - with high-energy rays from outer space
Cool down of the Large Hadron Collider has already begun in preparation for research to resume early in 2015
