CERN70: The dark side of the muon
Francis Farley, a British physicist, joined CERN in 1957. This marked the start of a long and remarkable career in experiments to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon
Enabling open access to books
An expanded collaboration agreement between CERN and the OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks) Foundation sees the Laboratory directly hosting the OAPEN Library and the Directory of Open Access Books in its Data Centre
CERN detector could help to improve head tumour radiotherapy
Scientists are testing a new device to help target cancer cells more accurately in ion radiotherapy of head and neck tumours, which could help limit the treatment’s side effects. It includes Timepix3, a small particle detector developed at CERN
The Open Quantum Institute launches its pilot phase at CERN
The three-year pilot will build on the efforts to date to help unleash the full power of quantum computing for the benefit of all
LHCb observes a new decay mode of the charmed beauty meson
The result has implications for future searches for rare beauty meson decays and for the interpretation of results from the Fermilab g-2 experiment
CERN70: The heart of CERN’s accelerator chain
Günther Plass, former Director of Accelerators at CERN, joined the Magnets group at the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in 1956. Three years later, the machine went into service and became the most powerful accelerator in the world
ABB and CERN identify 17.4% energy-saving opportunity in the Laboratory’s cooling and ventilation motors
Through a strategic research partnership focused on CERN’s cooling and ventilation systems, energy efficiency audits have helped to identify a savings potential of 17.4% across a total of 800 motors
A new data centre at CERN
The new data centre complements the existing centre and will allow CERN to respond to the growing data-processing needs of the worldwide scientific community
From particle physics to medicine
Spend a fascinating evening discovering how the technologies of particle physics are driving progress in medicine
AEgIS experiment paves the way for new set of antimatter studies by laser-cooling positronium
In cooling positronium with laser light for the first time, AEgIS may also have taken the first step towards a matter–antimatter system that emits laser-like gamma-ray light
