De-squeezed beams for ALFA and TOTEM
Following tests in September, a short, dedicated run at the end of October provided "de-squeezed" beams to the ALFA and TOTEM experiments, allowing new measurements of the elastic proton–proton cros...

On 5 October, CERN’s director-general, Rolf Heuer, and the minister of education and culture of the Republic of Cyprus, George Demosthenous, signed an agreement under which the Republic of Cyprus wi...
On 12 September, during a short, highly successful pilot run, the LHC operated with protons in one beam and lead ions in the other, so providing the LHC experiments with their first proton–nucleus ...
One of the classic signals expected for a quark–gluon plasma (QGP) is the radiation of "thermal photons", with a spectrum reflecting the temperature of the system.
Searches in LHC data that do not depend on specific theoretical models provide a valuable complement to optimized, model-dependent searches because they have the capacity to uncover hints of the compl...
The top quark is the heaviest point-like particle known. It weighs about as much as an atom of tungsten yet is an elementary building block of the Standard Model of particle physics.
The large cross-section for charm production at the LHC, and the geometry and instrumentation of the LHCb detector, provide samples of charmed hadrons far larger than those accumulated by previous exp...
Researchers using the European X-ray astronomy satellite XMM-Newton have discovered a new source of low-energy cosmic rays in the vicinity of the Arches cluster, near the centre of the Milky Way.
Researchers at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science have obtained the most unambiguous data to date on element 113.
The INTEGRAL gamma-ray satellite has detected the radioactive decay of an isotope of titanium, 44Ti, in the remnant of the nearby supernova SN 1987A. This observation confirms that 44Ti powers th...
