CERN is home to a wide range of experiments. Scientists from institutes all over the world form experimental collaborations to carry out a diverse research programme, ensuring that CERN covers a wealth of topics in physics, from the Standard Model to supersymmetry and from exotic isotopes to cosmic rays.. Several collaborations run experiments using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most ...

What is the LHC? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex.The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the …

CERN's main focus is particle physics – the study of the fundamental constituents of matter – but the physics programme at the laboratory is much broader, ranging from nuclear to high-energy physics, from studies of antimatter to the possible effects …

1 day ago · (Image: CERN) Today at 13h51, the engineer in charge of the LHC at the CERN Control Centre announced that stable beams had returned to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), marking the start of the 2025 physics data-taking campaign, the fourth year of the LHC's third operating period (Run 3*). The 2025 campaign will start with proton collisions at 13.6 TeV, and the proposed integrated luminosity ...
