Finding the best candidates for atomic EDM searches
The search for hints of new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) calls for a combination of experimental strategies including both direct searches but also a number of very high-precision measurements of certain quantities looking for deviations…
Read moreBASE probes antimatter - dark matter interaction
In a recent paper, the BASE collaboration presented results from a direct search for interactions of antimatter with dark matter and placed direct constraints on the interaction of ultralight axion-like particles (dark-matter candidates) with…

"It was easier to know it than to explain why I know it." said Sherlock*. …
Read moreNA62 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…
