CERN Accelerating science

Newsletter Articles

Detectors are what makes particle physics an experimental science. Pushing detector technologies and facilities beyond the frontiers of scientific innovation is critical in advancing high-energy physics. As such, current detectors must be improved…

Every March, particle physicists around the world take two weeks to promote results, share opinions and do a bit of skiing in-between. This is the Moriond tradition and the 52nd iteration of the conference took place this year in La Thuile, Italy.…

    Streaming dark matter (DM) axions may be the better source for their discovery than the widely assumed isotropic DM. Because, a large axion flux enhancement can take place, temporally, due to gravitational lensing when the Sun and/or a planet…

What lies behind and beyond the Standard Model is an obsession of particle physicists today. The neutrino physicists have a somewhat different palette of opinions as compared to their colleagues working at the high energy frontier. They consider…

Last month, the LHC experiment collaborations presented their latest results at the Quark Matter 2017 conference on how matter behaved in the very early moments of the universe. The programme includes a plethora of presentations on a variety of…

The NA62 experiment at CERN focuses in the study of kaon physics; a branch of physics that has been one of the major protagonists of the field in the second half of the twentieth century, as it played a key role in the development of the Standard…

In 2010 the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was approved, as the LHC’s newest experiment, to start data taking in 2015. MoEDAL is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing avatars of new physics such as…
