Herwig Schopper was Director-General of CERN from 1981 to 1988, during which time the Large Electron Positron collider was approved and constructed
ATLAS probes uncharted territory with LHC Run 3 data
The ATLAS collaboration has released its first results from searches for new physics phenomena conducted with data from Run 3 of the LHC
CERN70: The end of the alphabet
Carlo Rubbia’s name is closely related to the discovery of the W and Z particles at CERN. In 1984, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, together with Simon van der Meer, for the work he had done as head of the UA1 collaboration
LHCb investigates the rare Σ+→pμ+μ- decay
The rarest hyperon decay ever observed
Going the extra mile to squeeze supersymmetry out of CMS data
Re-analysing LHC Run 2 data with cutting-edge analysis techniques allowed CMS physicists to address an old discrepancy
CERN70: A two-stage rocket
Ted Wilson was involved in the design of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and played a leading role in its commissioning
CERN70: A gargantuan discovery
Violette Brisson played an active part in the discovery of neutral currents; she was head of the Gargamelle group at the Laboratory of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris
Shaking the box for new physics
The CMS collaboration has searched for new physics in a rare decay of a known particle, using an approach that can be likened to shaking a box containing a birthday present to find a clue about what’s inside
Upgrading the LHCb sub-detectors for the HL-LHC
The LHCb experiment is revamping its electromagnetic calorimeter with new high-performance modules and equipping its ring-imaging Cherenkov detectors with very fast electronics
CERN70: The world’s first hadron collider
Kjell Johnsen was Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) project leader when the accelerator was built
