Today at 13h51, the engineer in charge of the LHC at the CERN Control Centre announced that stable beams had returned to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), marking the start of the 2025 physics ...

As a layman I would now say… I think we have it. 4 July 2012: A packed auditorium at CERN listens keenly to the announcement from CMS and ATLAS (Image: Maximilien Brice/CERN) At the subatomic scale, ...

During LS2, the LHC’s two external beam dumps were removed from the tunnel and replaced with spare ones. After ten years of operation, they were showing signs of degradation, notably nitrogen leaks.

Particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can reach temperatures over one hundred thousand times hotter than at the centre of the Sun. Yet, somehow, light atomic nuclei and their ...

Our fifth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series looks at how the LHC has recreated and greatly advanced our knowledge of the state of matter that is believed to have existed shortly after the Big ...

Five teams of secondary school pupils have been selected to carry out their own experiments using accelerator beams at CERN, DESY and the University of Bonn A beamline is a facility that provides high ...

For the first time in CERN’s history, private donors (individuals and philanthropic foundations) have agreed to support a CERN flagship research project. Recently, a group of friends of CERN, ...

Building 937 houses the coolest robots at CERN. This is where the action happens to build and programme robots that can tackle the unconventional challenges presented by the Laboratory’s unique ...

Our sixth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series looks at the precision measurements of the Standard Model made at the Large Hadron Collider At the start of 2010, the particle physics community was ...

CERN’s High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) rare-earth barium copper oxide (also referred to as REBCO) power transmission cable used to study the feasibility of superconductivity for aircraft.

The Isotope Separator On-Line facility (ISOLDE) directs a proton beam from the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) onto specially developed thick targets, producing low-energy beams of radioactive nuclei ...
