Read article 'ATLAS observes and measures H → WW'
The WW final state was a key component in the discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV, and remains essential for the ongoing measurements of the particle’s properties.
Read article 'Neutrinos cast light on coherent pion production'
Experiments at Fermilab are advancing an intriguing story that began three decades ago, with investigations of coherent neutrino interactions that produce pions yet leave the target nucleus unscathed.
Read article 'Nanotube cathode promises intense electron beam'
It looks like a small black button, but in tests at Fermilab’s High-Brightness Electron Source Lab it has produced beam currents greater than those generated with a large laser system.
Read article 'An excellent start for the FCC collaboration'
On 9–10 September, representatives of about 70 institutes worldwide met at CERN to establish the International Collaboration Board (ICB) at the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study.
Read article 'Planck confirms doubts on BICEP2 results'
The Planck collaboration has published an all-sky map of the polarized thermal emission of dust grains in the Milky Way. It shows that the field used by the experiment for Background Imaging of Cosmic...
Read article 'Borexino measures the Sun’s energy in real time'
The Borexino experiment at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratories has measured the energy of the Sun in real time, showing for the first time that the energy released today at its centre is exactly...
Read article 'ATLAS closes and prepares for the restart'
On 7 August, the technical teams in charge of closing activities in the ATLAS collaboration started to move the first pieces back into position around the LHC beam pipe.
Read article 'The SPS gets ready to restart'
Work continues apace to ready the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) for its planned October restart, while beams are already being delivered to experiments at the Proton Synchrotron (PS) and PS Booster.
Read article 'First beam in Linac4 DTL'
Work progresses on Linac4, the linear accelerator foreseen to take over from the current Linac2 as injector to the PS Booster. On 5 August, the first drift-tube linac (DTL) tank saw beams at 12 MeV
