Neutrinos are never far from the physics headlines. Neutrino oscillations when different types of neutrinos transform among themselves has emerged as the big talking point of 1998. A topical...
A school on applied superconductivity held near the Russian proton accelerator at the Protvino Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP), near Moscow, provided a valuable snapshot of this important...
In the summer of 1973, an experiment at the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN discovered a new physics effect. Gordon Fraser looks back at how confirmation of the existence of neutral currents ushere...
A quarter of a century ago, several theorists published an unexpected result which opened the door to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the unusual field theory that describes quarks and gluons. This ye...
The second of two articles, in which as his five-year mandate as Director-General of CERN nears its end, Chris Llewellyn Smith reflects on what particle physics has achieved, and where it may be go...
Who needs the Spice Girls? What physicists want (what they really, really want) is science entertainment from Les Horribles Cernettes and the physics chanteuse Lynda Williams.
While the 27 km tunnel for the LEP electron–positron collider at CERN was being prepared, the Courier described non-evaporable getters used for its vacuum system.
The easy part is over experimental cosmology has now reached adulthood. That was the message that emerged from a workshop on cosmology and particle physics held at CERN this summer.
A new ultra-sensitive experiment to detect solar neutrinos is being built underground in Italy
