LHCb explores new territory during a special low-energy run
While the heavy-ion run season is in full swing at the LHC, let’s look back at the low-energy run that took place on 29 and 30 April. In yet another demonstration of the versatility of CERN’s accelerator complex, the LHC briefly departed from its standard high-energy operation to perform a special low-energy run dedicated primarily

CAST-CAPP inches closer to axion dark matter
The CAPP axion haloscope at the CAST experiment has hunted for axions from the Milky Way’s “halo” of dark matter, and has narrowed down the theoretical space in which to look for these hypothetical particles
