The 1998 EPS-IGA prize for outstanding work in the accelerator field was awarded to CERN’s Cris Benvenuti for “major breakthroughs in achieving ultra-high vacua in storage rings”.
In which direction do quarks point? The HERMES experiment using DESY's HERA electron ring and an ingenious system to control the spin of the electron beam is poised to reveal new insights into the...
Germany's national laboratory for heavy-ion physics, GSI in Darmstadt, turns pure science to the service of humanity with a cancer treatment facility using carbon ions.
A particle detection technique developed at CERN promises increased performance for major new physics experiments or anywhere where the detection of charged particles is needed, such as radiography...

International partners are being sought for the AUSTRON, a proposal for a pulsed high-flux neutron spallation source which could provide an international research centre in central Europe. Austria ha...
Monte-Carlo methods are vital simulation tools for studying high-energy particle collisions. To push the development of the Monte-Carlo generators, their underlying models and technical solutions, D...
Neutrinos have been a mainstay of CERN's research until September, when a generation of studies at the SPS synchrotron came to an end.
With CERN's site straddling the FrancoSwiss frontier near Geneva, exporting particle beams is an everyday occurrence. Now a new proposal foresees CERN particles also being exported to Italy, for u...
