COSMO’24 (International Conference on Particle Physics and Cosmology) will take place for October 21-25, 2024 in Kyoto, Japan. It will bring together a wide range of cosmologists and particle ...

Results from many experiments were presented, many of which are building excitement for even more rigorous tests of the Standard Model.

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 ...

The observation of the radiative decay of thorium-229m at CERN's ISOLDE facility opens a path to more precise timekeepers.

Ever since Otto Stern surprised his colleagues in 1933 by announcing that the proton's magnetic moment was some three times as large as expected, physicists have puzzled over the origin of this effect ...

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 ...

Fundamental research, technology innovation and their translation into real-world outcomes in accelerator science: that’s the headline theme of our latest In Focus report looking at large-scale ...

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 ...

Günther Plass looks back to the very beginnings of the Proton Synchrotron in the 1950s and its subsequent career as the centrepiece of CERN's accelerator complex. This is the first book to describe ...

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 ...
