The CERN has recently submitted a preliminary report (FCC) proposing the design of a future particle accelerator with a 100 km circumference. If realized, this ...

Next head of Cern backs massive replacement for world’s largest machine to investigate mysteries of the universe ...

Deep beneath the serene landscape straddling the border of France and Switzerland, a marvel of modern science and engineering lies in wait. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a massive particle ...

Neutrinos are tiny and neutrally charged particles accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics. While they are estimated to be some of the most abundant particles in the universe, ...

At the heart of every atomic nucleus, the strong interaction quietly dictates the structure of matter, yet for decades one of its simplest products refused to fit the script. The way fragile “light ...

Behind every particle collision generated at the Large Hadron Collider is a multitude of technical feats. One of these is ...

Following a two-year shutdown for maintenance and upgrades, Ned Stafford looks at how the LHC has been improved to allow researchers to hunt for new particles Power boost The upgrade and maintenance ...

A new measurement by CERN’s ATLAS Collaboration has strengthened evidence that the masses of fundamental particles originate through their interaction with the Higgs field. Building on earlier results ...

Yeah! Science! Scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider – the most powerful particle accelerator ever built – have detected the heaviest form of antimatter observed. This discovery is as important ...

FRANKFURT. On September 26, 2023, the accelerator team at the CERN European Council for Nuclear Research in Geneva declared stable lead-beam conditions, ushering in the first data-taking campaign of ...

For more than 40 years, physicist John Conway has led research in high-energy particle physics, a field driven by a simple yet profound goal: to understand what the universe is made of and how it ...

The nucleus of the Xenon atom can assume different shapes depending on the balance of internal forces at play. As two Xenon atoms collide in the CERN experiment, extremely hot conditions are created ...
