HL-LHC begins the move from paper to hardware

The HL-LHC will contain magnets, relying on Nb₃Sn and Nb-Ti superconductors in the form of Rutherford cable, and super-ferric magnets with Nb-Ti coils.

Korean Tier-1 link upgrades to 10 Gbps

The Korean Tier-1 site of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) completed the upgrade to 10 Gbps of the bandwidth of its optical-fibre link to CERN.

STAR helps to pin down a key phenomenon in gold collisions

The Brookhaven National Laboratory has published new evidence indicative of a "chiral magnetic wave" rippling through quark–gluon plasma.

B̅⁰ decay reveals an intriguing anomaly

The LHCb collaboration presented the first measurement of any B → τX decay at a hadron collider

LHCb observes top production in the forward region

Measurements of the forward production of top-quark pairs can be used to constrain the gluon parton distribution function.

On the trail of long-lived particles

When searching for new particles in ATLAS, it is often assumed that they will either decay to observable Standard Model particles at the centre of the detector, or escape undetected, in which case the...

CMS and the continuing quest to unveil dark matter

The search for particles that could constitute dark matter in the universe relies on detecting their interplay with the Standard Model particles through a three-pronged approach: via direct-detection ...

EuroCirCol: a key to new physics

EuroCirCol, the EC-funded part of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study that will develop the conceptual design of an energy-frontier hadron collider, officially started on 1 June. The “kick...

VLT sees evidence for first-generation stars

Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have discovered a very bright galaxy in the early universe, and found strong evidence that it contains first-generation stars. These massive lu...
