In the fourth part of our series, celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we look at the almost-complete HIE-ISOLDE upgrade
For the final part of our series celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we see what impact research at ISOLDE can have on society
Join us on Facebook at 14:00 CEST from the ISOLDE control centre, for a chance to have your questions answered by our scientists
The Baby MIND neutrino detector, after being assembled and tested at CERN, is now ready to be shipped to Japan
On 1 October 1992, the newly formed ATLAS and CMS collaborations both submitted letters of intent for the construction of their detectors
The SCINT 2017 conference on scintillation and its applications took place between 18 and 22 September
The third article in our series on superconductors takes us to the heart of the detectors and their extraordinary and powerful magnets
LHCb presented a measurement of the masses of two charmonium particles, with a precision that is unprecedented at a collider for this type of particle
With the arrival of key detector components at CERN, the construction of protoDUNE’s single-phase module can now get started
The first 20 modules of a new scintillating fibre tracker have been delivered as early elements of the LHCb detector upgrade
Physicists from ATLAS at CERN have found first direct evidence of high energy light-by-light scattering
