In a talk at the CERN auditorium on 14 April Nobel laureate and Former DG Carlo Rubbia reviewed the case for a muon-antimuon (µ+µ-) collider. The interest in building a so-called "second-generation" Higgs factory that would allow better…

The past several months were particularly important for the NA61/SHINE programme on strong interactions. This period was crowned by the ongoing beam energy scan with argon-scandium collisions. Here the key events are summarized, but first NA61/…

One of the safety challenges faced by the PH Department is how to provide safety training and raise awareness for the large number of users. Most of them visit CERN only for short periods of time, thus they often do not have the chance to…

COMPASS, a “COmmon Muon and Proton Apparatus for Structure and Spectroscopy”, is a multipurpose high-energy physics experiment at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Following the approval of the project in 1997 the spectrometer was installed in…

This year, the SPS accelerated argon ions for the first time, delivering beam to the NA61/SHINE experiment in the North Area. NA61/SHINE explores the phenomenon of deconfinement by studying the collisions of ions of different masses, at different…
