ATLAS and CMS release results of most comprehensive studies yet of Higgs boson’s properties
The collaborations have used the largest samples of proton–proton collision data recorded so far by the experiments to study the unique particle in unprecedented detail
LHC Run 3: physics at record energy starts tomorrow
The Large Hadron Collider is ready to once again start delivering proton collisions to experiments, this time at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, marking the start of the accelerator’s third run of data taking for physics
The Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider and the progress made since then, have allowed physicists to make tremendous steps forward in our understanding of the universe
Three teams of high-school students from Egypt, Spain and France win the CERN Beamline for Schools competition
Three teams of high-school students from the Club de Física Enrico Fermi (Vigo, Spain), the Elsewedy Technical Academy (STA) (Cairo, Egypt), and the École du Sacré-Coeur (Reims, France) have won the 2022 edition of the Beamline for Schools competition
CLOUD discovers new way by which aerosols rapidly form and grow at high altitude
The resultant particles quickly spread around the globe, potentially influencing Earth’s climate on an intercontinental scale
ALICE makes first direct observation of a fundamental effect in particle physics
The observation provides direct experimental access to the mass of an elementary particle known as the charm quark
