CERN Accelerating science

CMS has recently completed the first prototype slice of its innovative High-Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL), which will be the largest silicon-based detector ever built

From 1 January 2026 onward, Kai Schweda has assumed the role of ALICE spokesperson, alongside Andrea Dainese and Anthony Robert Timmins, new deputy spokespersons of the collaboration

A new cooling technique means that the ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antimatter Factory can produce antihydrogen atoms eight times faster than before

The CERN scientist has been recognised for her work on the development of quantum-limited measurement technologies to determine the antiproton magnetic moment with at least 100-fold improved accuracy

Got any blocks of cast iron lying around in a corner of your office? They might be useful for the future Beam Dump Facility (BDF) for the SPS

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial

Double crystal channelling was observed for the first time at the LHC, a milestone for future short-lived particle research

On 15 July 2025, the ALICE collaboration honoured its PhD thesis award winners during a special ceremony held as part of the ALICE collaboration meeting at CERN

The ATLAS collaboration celebrated the dedication, ingenuity and collaborative spirit of its members at the 8th Outstanding Achievement Awards

A new set of “eyes” that will enhance the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer’s sensitivity to cosmic rays is now one step closer to space, thanks to recent progress at CERN
