NA62 experiment presents new results
The NA62 experiment presented the latest result on the search for the ultra-rare kaon decay K+ → π+νν ̄ using 2017 data at the KAON2019 Conference, at the Physics in Collision Conference and during a recent CERN's EP Seminar…
Read moreCOMPASS results guiding future exploration of hadron structure in CERN’s North Area.
The COMPASS (COmmon Muon and Proton Apparatus for Structure and Spectroscopy) Collaboration at CERN is the most recent one in pursuing the more than 40-years old objective to experimentally elucidate the nucleon’s internal structure, in particular…
Read moreLHCf sheds light on hadronic interaction models
The experience of the small LHCf collaboration, matured within the cosmic ray physics community, began in 2004 with the idea of designing a very thin detector to be installed along the LHC beam line, in such a way to cover the so called “very…

The first time I heard of CERN was 2012 when a colleague of mine went for the summer program. It happened to be the year they announce the Higgs Boson discovery.Since then, it became my dream to join CERN's summer program but it was never the right…
Read moreExploring dark sector with NA64: First results from the combined analysis of 2016-2018 runs
Searches for dark matter (DM) particles, an essential experimental goal for particle physics, are entering in an interesting stage. Despite the strong astrophysical evidence for dark matter, little is still known about the origin and dynamics of…
Read moreMUonE experiment plans to shed light on the muon anomalous magnetic moment
The long-standing discrepancy between the experimental value and the Standard Model (SM) prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon remains one of fundamental parameters in Quantum Field Theory that still lacks an explanation. The…

The COMPASS++/AMBER Collaboration proposes to establish a “New QCD facility at the M2 beam line of the CERN SPS”. Such an unrivalled installation would make the experimental hall EHN2 the site for a great variety of measurements to address…
Read moreSearching for new physics with hadrons and muons at SPS
CERN is not only home to the LHC but provides a diverse physics programme using the LHC injector complex including the PS and the SPS that deliver a range of high-energy beams to a number of experiments. In order to fully exploit the scientific…
Read moreFASER joins the exploration for new physics
On March 5th the CERN Research Board approved the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER), for installation at the LHC during Long Shutdown 2. FASER is an experiment designed to broaden the search for new physics at the LHC, by looking for light, weakly-…
Read moreHIE-ISOLDE: a unique window into the nucleus
With the recent completion of the second phase of HIE-ISOLDE, CERN’s ISOLDE facility has a machine capable of answering long-unanswered questions about the nature of the nucleus. The installation of 4 cryomodules in 2018 allowed for the acceleration…
