CERN Courier is essential reading for the global high-energy physics community. The website and associated print magazine highlight the latest developments in particle physics and related fields, ...

Alexander Lenz argues that the charm quark is an experimental and theoretical enigma that has the potential to shed light on the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Threading the needle The ...

Simone Ragoni’s book is a delightful gift for anyone whom you want to inspire to become a particle physicist of tomorrow, writes Chetna Krishna. Inspired by CERN’s international teacher programme and ...

The Strings 2024 conference looked at the latest developments in the interconnected fields of quantum gravity and quantum field theory, all under the overarching framework of string theory. The ...

Alexander Lenz argues that the charm quark is an experimental and theoretical enigma that has the potential to shed light on the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Andrzej Buras explains how ...

Searches in LHC data that do not depend on specific theoretical models provide a valuable complement to optimized, model-dependent searches because they have the capacity to uncover hints of the compl ...

The aim of this book is to elucidate the origin and nature of dissipative forces and to present a detailed account of attempts to study dissipative phenomena in both classical mechanics and quantum th ...

From its pristine vantage point on the International Space Station, the Calorimetric Electron Telescope, CALET, has uncovered anomalies in the spectra of protons and electrons below the cosmic-ray kne ...

Collaboration is the engine-room of scientific progress for Europe’s large-scale research facilities. That truism also applies in equal measure to the enabling technologies that underpin day-to-day ...

How can Europe’s large-scale research facilities better engage with industry and, in so doing, broaden their user base while amplifying downstream socioeconomic impacts? That’s the central question ...

The wonder and awe that we sense when we look at the starry skies is a major motivation to do science. Both Plato (Theaetetus 155d) and Aristotle (Metaphysics 982b12) wrote that philosophy starts in w ...

A new technique for cooling neutrons has been pioneered in Japan and offers the promise of an intense source of ultracold neutrons. A new experiment at the Frascati laboratory's φ-factory is set to ...
