Read article 'XENON100 sees no evidence of dark-matter interactions with electrons in liquid xenon'
Nearly 400 days of data taken by the XENON collaboration were used to look for the telltale signature of dark matter, an event rate that varies periodically over the course of a year. The null re...
Read article 'Borexino finds evidence of neutrinos produced in the Earth’s mantle'
In July, the Borexino collaboration reported a geoneutrino signal from the Earth’s mantle with 98% C.L. Geoneutrinos are electron antineutrinos produced by β decays of 238U and 232Th c...

After a spectacular launch from the Tanegashima Space Center on 19 August on board the Japanese H2-B rocket operated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the CALorimetric Electron Te...
Read article 'An improved measurement of θ13 from Daya Bay'
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has recently published a new measurement of the disappearance of electron antineutrinos emitted by nuclear reactors. The observation improves the precision of ...
Read article 'Massive black-hole pair is on fast-merger track'
Earlier this year, astronomers discovered what appeared to be a pair of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) circling towards a collision, which would send out a burst of gravitational waves. A new study ...

The combined signal yield relative to the Standard Model expectation is measured to be 1.09±0.11.
Read article 'So, farewell then…'
After nearly 13 years as editor of CERN Courier, I am stepping down as I head off into retirement. I would like to thank the many contributors and also the team at IOP Publishing who bring such a prof...
Read article 'STAR tracker snares heavy flavours'
Heavy quarks are important probes of the quark–gluon plasma that is produced when relativistic heavy ions collide. Because of a mass effect, it has been argued that heavy quarks lose less energy thr...
Read article 'Positrons catch a wave at SLAC'
In a study reported in Nature, a team working at the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests (FACET) at SLAC has shown that the high electric-field gradients possible in plasma can be har...
