6 days ago · CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works.

On Friday 5 April, at 6.25 p.m., the LHC Engineer-in-Charge at the CERN Control Centre (CCC) announced that stable beams were back in the Large Hadron Collider, marking the official start of the 2024 physics data-taking season. The third year of LHC Run 3 promises six months of 13.6 TeV proton collisions at an even higher luminosity than before, meaning more collisions for the …

What is the LHC? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex.The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the …

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) study is developing designs for higher performance particle colliders that could follow on from the Large Hadron Collider once it reaches the end of its (High-Luminosity phase).. The ongoing FCC Feasibility Study, expected to conclude in 2025, is investigating the technical and financial viability of the FCC at CERN, including geological …

Science. The research programme at CERN covers topics from kaons to cosmic rays, and from the Standard Model to supersymmetry. Know more

Accelerators use electromagnetic fields to accelerate and steer particles. Radiofrequency cavities boost the particle beams, while magnets focus the beams and bend their trajectory.. In a circular accelerator, the particles repeat the same circuit for as long as …

The World Wide Web was invented by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while working at CERN

CERN’s experimental programme has consisted of hundreds of experiments spanning decades. Among these were pioneering experiments for electroweak physics, a branch of physics that unifies the electromagnetic and weak fundamental forces.In 1958, an experiment at the Synchrocyclotron discovered a rare pion decay that spread CERN’s name around the world.
