CERN Accelerating science

The experiment successfully transported a trap filled with antiprotons across CERN’s main site, a remarkable first step towards delivering antimatter to other European laboratories

On 19 February 2026, the ATLAS Collaboration gathered for the 2025 Thesis Awards – an annual celebration of the vital role of PhD students within the experiment

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
