The Hadron Production Experiment at the CERN PS proton synchrotron is a collaboration of institutes in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Russia, Spain and the UK as well as CERN and the JI...
Ever since Otto Stern surprised his colleagues in 1933 by announcing that the proton's magnetic moment was some three times as large as expected, physicists have puzzled over the origin of this effect...
After a decade of running, the results from CERN's research programme with high-energy nuclear beams provide tantalizing glimpses of mechanisms that shaped our universe.
An experiment at the French GANIL laboratory has recently discovered a new "doubly magic" nucleus - only the tenth such isotope known to science.
Understanding most of what happens in high-energy particle scattering should be easy, but it isn't. A recent international conference underlined a traditional dilemma.
An international collaboration of radiochemists has carried out the first chemical study of the transuranic element bohrium (atomic number 107) using the Philips cyclotron at the Swiss Paul Scherrer I...
With construction work for CERN's LHC and its big detectors under way a workshop, Standard Model Physics at the LHC, was held at CERN.
BEARS is led by Joseph Cerny, Professor of Chemistry at the University of California and LBNL Nuclear Science Division, with other researchers from the Nuclear Science Division, the Life Sciences Divi...
Radioactive ion beams provide access to a variety of research, from basic nuclear physics to the life sciences. Thomas Nilsson looks at the varied radioactive ion beam research programme of CERN's vet...
