The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered 76 new particles so far. In addition to discovering the unique Higgs boson, ...

Gauge theories are ubiquitous in fundamental physics with applications ranging from high-energy particle physics over emergent phenomena in condensed matter to quantum information science and ...

An optical fibre link to the ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antimatter Factory will assist in precise measurements of the properties of antihydrogen. (Image: CERN) The Standard Model of particle physics ...

As the carriers of the weak force, the W and Z bosons are central to the Standard Model of particle physics. Though discovered four decades ago, the W and Z bosons continue to provide physicists with ...

Dive into CERN's accelerator complex with these 360° panoramic photos. You can take a virtual tour of the installed machines and equipment, visit different areas of ...

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific ...

In carrying out the mission with which it is entrusted by its Member States, the Organization collects and uses personal data related to people interacting with CERN, including CERN contributors (i.e.

On a microscopic scale, our world is governed by quantum physics. Beyond the fundamental questions and 'mysteries' of quantum mechanics, the ability to control this microscopic realm opens up exciting ...

Is the Large Hadron Collider dangerous? No. Although powerful for an accelerator, the energy reached in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is modest by nature’s standards. Cosmic rays – particles ...

The LHC will not generate black holes in the cosmological sense. However, some theories suggest that the formation of tiny 'quantum' black holes may be possible. The observation of such an event would ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently operating at the energy of 6.5 TeV per beam. At this energy, the trillions of particles circle the collider's 27-kilometre tunnel 11,245 times per second.

Two LHC magnets are seen before they are connected together. The blue cylinders contain the magnetic yoke and coil of the dipole magnets together with the liquid helium system required to cool the ...
