The special demands of particle physics experiments can be a challenge to suppliers. Specialist firm Electron Tubes mounted a programme for photomultiplier housings.
While proton-proton collisions will be the principal diet of CERN's LHC machine, heavy-ion collisions will also be on the menu. The ALICE experiment will be ready and waiting.
A range of different experiments have studied in detail the neutrinos emitted by the Sun. What does this complex picture now tell us? Arnon Dar reviews the latest wisdom.
An experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has recently focused positron beams by means of a plasma lens. This is the first time this process has been observed.
The unique HERA electron-proton collider at DESY, Hamburg, achieved record performance in 2000 before being shut down for nine months of "lumi upgrade".
Some 40 years after it was commissioned, and as well as continuing to provide particles to its own physics programme, Brookhaven's Alternating Gradient Synchrotron has a new future as the injector ...
As well as being crucibles of research, today's big physics experiments are also factories for students - almost 700 have graduated from the DELPHI experiment at CERN's LEP electron-positron collide...
In Japan the KEK high-energy physics laboratory and the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute are working together to finalize preparations for a major new high-intensity proton source, with applic...
What began life as an unwanted energy loss has become a major research industry. Dominique Cornuéjols of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble looks at the history and accomplishm...
