The conditions at CERN's Large Hadron Collider pose severe challenges for the designers and builders of front-end, trigger and data acquisition electronics. A recent workshop reviewed the encouraging...
Over the past decade the technique of frequency map analysis, developed to study astronomical systems, has shown its value in an increasing number of areas, including the analysis of particle orbits ...
Scientific communication is now virtually instantaneous, with scientists able to download book-quality versions of papers. High-energy physics has been in the eye of this publishing storm - witness t...
The search for supersymmetry, or other physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is becoming ever more tantalizing. The idea that the SM is theoretically incomplete is an old one. There is now a whole ...
Germany's impressive scientific traditions are a role model for other nations. A recent European committee meeting in Berlin painted a lively and informative picture of the current German scene.
As the era of CERN's LEP electron-positron collider draws to a close, that of CERN's next major machine - the LHC proton collider - is set to begin. A special celebration event at CERN marked this m...
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.
