After 13 years as the Courier’s Astrowatch contributor, astronomer Marc Türler is moving to pastures new.
Previously, scientists from Sri Lanka have participated in LHC experiments within the framework of sabbatical leave.
A European scheme to make publicly funded scientific data openly available has entered its first phase of development, with CERN one of several organisations poised to test the new technology. Launche...
The US Department of Energy has formally approved a key construction milestone for the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment.
More than 50 science organisations in Europe have written an open letter expressing concern about the impact of recent US policies on science, research and innovation.
2016 was a remarkably successful year for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), marked by excellent peak performance, good availability and operational flexibility (CERN Courier December 2016 p5). Tar...
At the beginning of March, the CMS collaboration successfully replaced the heart of its detector: the pixel tracker. This innermost layer of the CMS detector, a cylindrical device containing 124 milli...
The excellent theoretical understanding of the production of electroweak W and Z gauge bosons in proton–proton collisions at the LHC makes these “standard-candle” processes ideal for studying th...
Heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies create a hot and dense medium of deconfined quarks and gluons, known as the quark–gluon plasma (QGP). The QGP fireball first expands, cools and then freezes out ...
