Layout of a printed circuit board made using KiCad. The cornerstone of open source philosophy is that the recipients of technology should have access to all of its building blocks, such as software ...

The enthusiasm and motivation to explore particle physics at the high-energy frontier knows no borders between the nations and regions of the planet. It is shared between physicists of widely ...

LEIR takes long pulses of lead ions from Linac 3 and transforms them into the short, dense bunches suitable for injection to the Large Hadron Collider The Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) receives long ...

To unravel some of the mysteries surrounding neutrinos, CERN sent a beam through 732 kilometres of solid rock to the CNGS project in Italy The CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso (CNGS) project aimed to ...

To learn about this, researchers are going to be looking for Higgs boson interactions with second generation matter particles, the muon and the charm quark, and also looking for extra Higgs-like ...

The accelerator complex at CERN is a succession of machines that accelerate particles to increasingly higher energies. Each machine boosts the energy of a beam of particles before ...

It takes a lot of electricity to power the world’s largest scientific experiment – but superconducting wires can help keep those energy costs down At peak consumption, usually from May to mid-December ...

The Higgs boson was discovered, almost 50 years after first being proposed, by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN in 2012. But why did it take so long to find it? With a mass of more than 120 ...

Diversity is a catalyst for creativity at CERN. Including everyone and ensuring equal opportunities for all is one of the Organization’s main principles. However, inclusivity requires accessibility.

Dive into CERN’s accelerator complex with these 360° panoramic photos. You can take a virtual tour of the installed machines and equipment, visit different areas of the CERN accelerator complex and ...

HiLumi LHC is a major upgrade of CERN’s existing 27‑kilometre Large Hadron Collider on the French–Swiss border, designed to deliver about ten times more collisions and data than the LHC’s original ...

The 2021 EPS-HEP conference was another online-only gathering, serving up a feast of physics to a record audience from 26 to 30 July. As conferences get back to being in person, there are lessons to ...
