A smaller beam pipe and a redesign of the tracker systems are among the upgrades the ALICE experiment will deploy during the long shutdown of the LHC
CMS has published its first paper on proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions
The first measures the pseudorapidity density of charged particles in p–Pb collisions while the second is on transverse momentum distribution
Summer intern Siddharth Sehgal spent two weeks working on the Gas Electron Multiplier at the CMS detector
The project was awarded "Best Online Event" at an awards ceremony in Berlin, Germany, last week
A model developed by a Belgian student has helped ISOLDE to perform sensitive measurements of franconium, one of the world's rarest elements
The collaborations published the latest in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the journal <em>Physics Letters B</em>
CERN's youngest experiment had its first physics workshop in the Globe of Science and Innovation this summer
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations today submitted papers to the journal Physics Letters B outlining the latest on their searches for the Higgs boson
