Established in 1962 this year's CERN summer student programme brought together about 300 students for an incredible summer of learning and discovery.
The NA61/SHINE experiment approved in 2008 allows for precise measurements of properties of particles, produced in collisions of hadrons and atomic nuclei.-
Welcome to the autumn issue of the EP newsletter!
It has been a busy summer with a wealth of new physics results presented at international conferences...

Special Feature
-
In discussion with Nobel Laureate Adam Riess about the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe; one of the most dramatic moments in the physics of the 21st century.
-
One overarching objective of science is to further our understanding of the universe, from its early stages to its current state and future evolution. This endeavor calls for combined expertise from the fields of astroparticle physics, particle physics and nuclear physics which was one of the topics discussed during a special session of the EPPSU.
