The CALorimetric Electron Telescope has observed more than a hundred million events at energies above 10 GeV.
Read article 'Fast radio bursts reveal unexpected properties'
Two studies show that fast radio bursts (FRBs) have a richer phenomenology than initially thought and might originate in two different classes.
Read article 'The LHC is restarting'
The LHC, last among all of CERN’s accelerators, is resuming operation with beam while this issue goes to press. The year-end technical stop (YETS) started on 14 December 2015. During the 11...

ATLAS exploited the optimised boson tagging in the search for heavy resonances decaying into a pair of two electroweak gauge bosons (WW, WZ, ZZ) or of a gauge boson and a Higgs boson (WH, ZH).
Read article 'Anisotropic flow in Run 2'
Exploiting the data collected during November 2015 with Pb–Pb collisions at the record-breaking energy of √sNN = 5.02 TeV, ALICE measured for the first time the anisotropic flow of charged part...

With the increase in the LHC centre-of-mass energy from 8 to 13 TeV, the production cross-section for hypothetical SUSY partners rises.
Read article 'LHCb awards physics prizes for its Kaggle competition'
Machine learning, also known in physics circles as multivariate analysis, is used more and more in high-energy physics, most visibly in data analysis but also in other applications such as trigger and...
Read article 'Another important step for the AWAKE experiment'
By harnessing the power of wakefields generated by a proton beam in a plasma cell, the AWAKE experiment at CERN (CERN Courier November 2013 p17) aims to produce accelerator gradients that are hundreds...
Read article 'BESIII makes first direct measurement of the Λc at threshold'
The charmed baryon, Λc, was first observed at Fermilab in 1976. Now, 40 years later, the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) experiment at the Beijing Electron–Positron Collider II (BEPCII) has measure...
