SNS reaches major milestone on journey to completion next June

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) has met a crucial milestone on its way to completion in June 2006 - operation of th...

LEIR gets ions on course for the LHC

On 10 October, at the very first attempt, a beam travelled round the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) at CERN. LEIR is a central part of the injector chain to supply lead ions to the Large Hadron Collider (...

ILC comes to Snowmass

In August nearly 700 scientists and engineers from North America, Asia and Europe got together at Snowmass in the US to advance the design of the International Linear Collider and its detectors, and t...

How CERN keeps its cool

Research at CERN centres on very high particle energies, but it also involves the application of very low temperature techniques. Giorgio Passardi and Laurent Tavian take a look at the evolution of ...

REX-ISOLDE accelerates the first isomeric beams

CERN's REX-ISOLDE facility has opened up a new avenue for nuclear investigations by accelerating isomeric beams for the first time, as Georgi Georgiev explains.

High pT Physics at Hadron Colliders

Allan Clark reviews in 2005 High pT Physics at Hadron Colliders.

LHC project passes several milestones

Progress on the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has passed several important milestones in recent weeks.

H-jet measures beam polarization at RHIC

The RHIC accelerator collides 100 GeV polarized protons head-on to study the contribution of gluons to the proton spin. But how is the degree of polarization of the beam known? Willy Haeberli explain...

Symposium previews the future of hadron colliders

The HCP2005 Symposium, held in the Swiss Alps, discussed the latest results from the Tevatron and the prospect that the LHC will open new scientific frontiers.
