#DidYouKnow that this year CERN celebrates 70 years of scientific discovery, innovation and international collaboration on 29 September 2024 ?

To honour this occasion, CERN has put together a rich and diverse programme, that will enable the public to celebrate CERN’s illustrious…

🏁Like a finely tuned race car, CMS strives for peak performances! The latest check-up focusing on muon detection efficiency showed that CMS will be firing on all cylinders when we start taking data at the new high-luminosity racetrack🏎️

CERN #Physics

Physicists from the ATLAS Experiment at CERN explain their latest search for new #Higgs bosons. The existence of these new particles could explain the matter-antimatter imbalance of the Universe. 🌌

#ThrowbackThursday to 1967 inside the spark chamber apparatus, in the South Hall of Proton Synchrotron (PS). In this picture, we see Giuseppe and Maria Fidecaro, who started working at CERN in the late 1950s.

Giuseppe started his career at the Synchrocyclotron (SC), CERN’s first…

Probing matter–antimatter asymmetry with #AI

Using a cutting-edge AI algorithm, the CMS Experiment CERN has obtained the first evidence of charge–parity (CP) violation in the decay of the strange beauty meson into a pair of muons and a pair of electrically charged kaons.

ALICE gets the green light for new subdetectors 🔍

The @ALICEExperiment, CERN’s dedicated heavy-ion physics experiment, is upgrading its Inner Tracking System and adding a forward calorimeter for the next phase of the #LHC upgrade.

Images 2 and 3 show components of the Inner…

Recognizing their historic partnership, CERN & the USA have signed a Joint Statement of Intent to foster collaboration for the next major physics research facilities, advanced scientific #computing & #openscience bit.ly/4dkrc6i

#OnThisDay in 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web in the public domain, later made available with an open licence, allowing the web to flourish.

Here we see Sir Tim Berners-Lee's proposal for the World Wide Web, revised back in May 1990.

The World Wide Web will be one of the…

Here we see the beam dump installed at the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in 2020, when the first synchrotron in CERN’s accelerator family was being outfitted with new, ultra-modern equipment.

The new beam dump works differently to those normally used at CERN. It moves to meet the…

Cutting-edge computing
#CERN70 – Part 7

#ThrowbackThursday to the installation of CERN’s first computer on 30 June 1958.
The Ferranti Mercury computer was a towering marvel of vacuum tubes and early computing power and it represented the first stage in the evolution of digital…

The beauty in LHCb 😁

The LHCb Experiment specialises in investigating the slight differences between matter and #antimatter by studying a particle called the 'beauty quark' or the 'b quark'.

Learn from LHCb Experiment physicists Yasmine, Elena and Sascha how the experiment…
