Alexander Lenz argues that the charm quark is an experimental and theoretical enigma that has the potential to shed light on the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
On-chip acceleration pioneers Robert Byer, Joel England, Peter Hommelhoff and Roy Shiloh report on progress to miniaturise accelerators from centimetres to microns.
Early-career researchers tell the Courier what they think is the key strategic issue for the future of high-energy physics.
Geared for discovery more so than delicacy, the LHC is defying expectations by rivalling lepton colliders for precision.
The laboratory will acquire unique expertise useful to the HL-LHC experiments, future projects and other accelerators around the world.
