How do you calculate the "curiosity windfall"? 📚The Economics of Big Science, which emerged from an FCC study Week, brings the interconnectedness of fundamental science and economics into focus, writes the editor #review cerncourier.com/a/calculating-…

FASERnu was installed this week at CERN. This detector, built Universität Bern, will measure high energy neutrinos produced in a collider for the first time. faser.web.cern.ch/about-the-expe…

Congratulations to IPPOG Masterclass Coordinators, Uta Bilow and Kenneth Cecire, and IPPOG ATLAS Representative, Sascha Mehlhase, recipients of the European Physical Society (EPS) HEPP Outreach Prize for 2021!

A book that only few have read in detail, but still, it changed the world. A truly groundbreaking achievement. Some of the easier stuff is being tought in all grammar schools. It's a marvel and its value cannot be underestimated.

Neutrino oscillations show that lepton flavour violation exists. Searching for such potential beyond-the-Standard Model behaviour in Higgs-boson decays, the ATLAS Experiment has set new upper limits on the branching fractions of H → eτ and H → μτ cerncourier.com/a/testing-flav…
