CERN Accelerating science

The start of the LAA project in 1986 propelled electronics at CERN into the era of microelectronics

The collimation system for the Large Hadron Collider's Run 2 will consist of a total of 118 ultra-precise devices

With the pressure tests now complete we are coming to the equally important phase of cleaning the machine

A particle accelerator from Heidelberg, Germany – the Test Storage Ring - may not be going into storage after all

Last week several CERN teams were involved in creating a life-size mock helium leak in Sector 4-5

This week and next see a series of meetings looking at the future of CERN, and indeed of particle physics, says Director-General Rolf Heuer

Radiofrequency cavities built for the Large Electron Positron Collider are finding use on the SESAME project

As the LHC’s first long shutdown, LS1, enters its second calendar year, it’s a good time for a mid-term report on how things are progressing

This week LS1 successfully passed an important milestone: the first pressure test of a complete sector, sector 6-7

There’s much to look forward to in 2014 – let’s make it another safe and successful year at CERN, says Director-General Rolf Heuer

Higgs boson decays, a Nobel prize for Higgs and Englert and a huge Open Days event were among the big stories at CERN this year

The excellent progress of the maintenance work on CERN's accelerators, which is overwhelmingly on schedule, was praised by the CERN Council last week
