Paul Robert Andreini
Paul Robert Andreini I am working for the AWAKE project at CERN, where I help to develop plasma-wakefield lepton accelerators for future high-energy particle experiments. This new alternative particle-accelerator paradigm promises far higher acceleration gradients than traditional RF cavities, which would allow scientists to build much smaller accelerators than the current technology permits. I perform

Why is fundamental physics worth researching?
Why is fundamental physics worth researching? BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/why-fundamental-physics-worth-researching) What’s the point of investing fortunes into answering questions in advanced physics? 100 years ago, we might have asked the same questions of Schroedinger, Bohr, Heisenberg, Dirac, and the other pioneers of the quantum revolution. After all — what’s the point

LHC’s upgrade takes shape
LHC's upgrade takes shape A ground-breaking ceremony was held on the 15th of June, to celebrate the start of civil engineering work for a major upgrade to the LHC . When completed in 2026, the HL-LHC will produce a five to seven times higher rate of proton-proton collisions, providing better statistics and powering new discoveries

Emmy Noether: the mathematician who changed the face of physics
Emmy Noether: the mathematician who changed the face of physics On a warm summer evening, a visitor to 1920s Göttingen, Germany, might have heard the hubbub of a party from an apartment on Friedländer Way. A glimpse through the window would reveal a gathering of scholars. The wine would be flowing and the air buzzing

Cloud(y) climate studies at CERN
Cloud(y) climate studies at CERN Continuous improvements to the CLOUD facility as well as to the instruments combined with the state of the art know-how available at CERN have enabled a steady increase in the measurement capabilities and resulted in numerous high impact publications. This combination reflects CLOUD's world leading role in experimental laboratory studies

Precise timing detectors for the LHC experiments
Precise timing detectors for the LHC experiments The ATLAS and CMS experiments physics programme at the HL-LHC will target a very wide range of measurements, including in-depth studies of the Higgs boson properties and direct searches for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). Timing detectors will help improve vertex identification, acceptance extension for isolated objects,
