Deciphering elementary particles

Former CERN physicist Christian Fabjan takes a whirlwind tour of 60 years of innovation in particle-detection technology at CERN and beyond.

Fixed target, striking physics

A strong tradition of innovation and ingenuity shows that, for CERN’s North Area, life really does begin at 40.

Inspired by software

Being a scientist in the digital age means being a software producer and a software consumer.

Open science: A vision for collaborative, reproducible and reusable research

True open science demands more than simply making data available.

A turning point for open-access publishing

The European Commission is embarking on an ambitious project called Plan S to make all scientific publications open access from 2020.

Preserving the legacy of particle physics

Although high-energy physics has made great strides in providing open access to research publications, we are still in the very early days of open data.

CERN’s ultimate act of openness

The seed that led CERN to relinquish ownership of the web in 1993 was planted when the Organization formally came into being.

Large Hadron Collider: the experiments strike back

During the next two years of long-shutdown two (LS2), the LHC and its injectors will be tuned up for high-luminosity operations.

CMS has high luminosity in sight

One of the biggest challenges for the CMS collaboration during LS2 is to prepare its detector for the HL-LHC.

ATLAS upgrades in LS2

New wheel-shaped detectors that allow a better trigger and measurement capability for muons are among numerous transformations taking place.
