Read article 'US high-field quadrupole magnet passes test'
The US LHC Accelerator Program (LARP) has successfully tested a powerful superconducting quadrupole magnet that will play a key role in developing a new beam-focusing system for the LHC.
Read article 'IceCube detects ultra-high-energy events and observes oscillations'
Neutrino experiments – thanks to the nature of the particles themselves – are notoriously difficult and experiments that make use of the natural source of particles within the cosmic radiation fac...
Read article 'ISOLDE experiments: from a new magic number to the rarest element'
Two teams working on experiments at CERN’s ISOLDE facility have published results that extend knowledge in different areas of nuclear and atomic physics.
Read article 'CMS sees first direct evidence for γγ→WW'
In a small fraction of proton collisions at the LHC, the two colliding protons interact only electromagnetically, radiating high-energy photons that subsequently interact or "fuse" to produce a pair o...
Read article 'ALICE through a gamma-ray looking glass'
The ALICE experiment is optimized to perform in the environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, which can produce thousands of particles. Its design combines an excellent vertex resolution with a ...
