A word from the EP Department Head – Autumn 2026
Dear Colleagues, Autumn is transforming nature by giving it new colours, shortening daylight and changing the temperature. Similarly, the start of Long Shutdown 3 has transformed our experimental facilities into busy construction sites. The excitement of data taking has given way to eager teams of technicians, engineers and scientists dismantling, cleaning and refurbishing the areas…

A voice from Early-Career Researchers
A voice from Early-Career Researchers Any post-LHC collider, starting operations around late 2030s, would be an inter-generational project and thus it is vital to include the voices of young researchers in the decision making process. Studies planning for a next-generation collider strive to create a global vision for a "sustainable, innovative and diverse" research infrastructure,

Investing in detector technologies
Investing in detector technologies Detector technologies are a vital component in the exploration of the fundamental laws of nature and the search for new physics that will answer some of the questions that the Standard Model leaves unanswered. Recognizing the importance of further R&D on detector technologies that could boost their performance and allow to
