LHC workshop studies new physics

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 deliver radioactive species

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 beams drive physics forward

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...

Handling high-energy spin

The discovery of spin was a surprise, and the subsequent history of spin physics has lived up to this reputation. With plenty of spin puzzles still around, physicists have to look at how to handle sp...

Silver celebration for Swiss pions

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first particle beams at the former Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research, now better known as the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Experiments rechart the Big Bang

In the beginning there were quarks and gluons the "quarkgluon plasma". Density and temperature decreased as the universe expanded and cooled.

Deep import of deep inelastic scattering

The quest goes on to try to pin down the detailed inner structure of the proton. The problem is that, the harder physicists look, the more structure they find.

Beijing tests complete precision measurement

The BES II spectrometer at the Beijing electronpositron collider (BEPC) has completed a measurement of hadron production rates over the 25 GeV energy range which is valuable input for Standard Mod...
