Pushing the limits on supersymmetry
Despite the theory’s many appealing features, searches for SUSY at the LHC and elsewhere have so far yielded only exclusion limits.
Boosting searches for fourth-generation quarks
If the new "T" quarks exist, they are expected to decay to a quark and a W, Z or Higgs boson.
ALICE sheds new light on high-pT suppression
These results demonstrate that with the correct treatment of biases from the parton–parton interactions the observed suppression in Pb–Pb collisions is consistent with results from p–Pb collisio...
New pentaquarks resolved by LHCb
The LHCb data also confirm that the structure previously reported by the collaboration in 2015 has now been resolved into two narrow, overlapping peaks.
Serbia becomes CERN Member State
Ever since the early days of CERN, the Serbian scientific community has made strong contributions to CERN’s projects.
Welcome to the Science Gateway

First images of the centre of a galaxy
On 10 April, researchers working on the Event Horizon Telescope released the first direct image of a black hole.
BELLA sets new record for plasma acceleration
Physicists used a novel scheme to channel 850 TW laser pulses through a 20 cm-long plasma, allowing electron beams to be accelerated to an energy of 7.8 GeV – almost double the previous record...
Flavour anomalies continue to intrigue
The LHCb collaboration has released a much anticipated update on its measurement of RK – a powerful test of lepton universality.
SESAME synchrotron goes all-solar
SESAME is now the world’s first major research infrastructure to be fully powered by renewable energy.
