Since neutrinos are charge-less, they cannot be accelerated and steered with magnets as typically done at a particle accelerator. To create a neutrino beam, researchers accelerate charged protons and impinge them onto a fixed target of a few…

One of the biggest puzzles in physics is that eighty-five percent of the matter in our universe is “dark”: it does not interact with the photons of the conventional electromagnetic force and is therefore invisible to our eyes and telescopes.…

The phenomenon of violation of invariance under CP, the combined action of charge conjugation C and parity P, which is related to the difference between properties of matter and antimatter, is one of the most fundamental problems in physics. CP…

There was an air of celebration at CERN on Wednesday 28th September as nearly 100 invited guests gathered to mark the successful completion of phase 1 of the HIE-ISOLDE project, which aims to provide higher intensity and energy beams, up to 5.5…

The LHCb Collaboration will replace the Trigger Tracker (TT) detector by the Upstream Tracker (UT) during LS2. The UT detector will be installed in a box (UT box) which will serve as the boundary between the detector (operated below zero degrees…

With the approval of the CERN Council in June 2016, the LHC is now moving toward execution of the High Luminosity upgrades. As well, after the first step of approval by scientific committees at the end of 2015, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations were…

  These asymmetric collisions were originally meant as a benchmark to control for background effects unrelated to the production of a quark-gluon plasma, expected in Pb-Pb collisions simply due to the use of Pb nuclei instead of protons in the…
