The Cern Courier explores the experimental results and theoretical calculations used to predict ‘muon g-2’ – one of particle physics’ most precisely known quantities and the subject of a fast-evolving anomaly.

The ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations received the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS Collaboration on April 5, 2025.

The CMS collaboration has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the LHC which could point to the existence of the smallest composite particle yet observed.

To address the lingering questions of the Standard Model of Physics, particle physicists have been planning the next-generation colliders. Fermilab could be the site of a future muon collider, but future colliders will be the efforts of the international physics community.

Fermilab and Diraq announced a multi-institution collaboration to develop a novel quantum sensor platform for high-energy physics named Quandarum.

New data from the NOvA experiment at Fermilab in the US contain no evidence for so-called “sterile” neutrinos, in line with results from most – though not all – other neutrino detectors to date.

Discover magazine interviews Dr. Robert Wilson, one of the founding members of DUNE, about the goals of DUNE in studying the behavior of neutrinos.

In 2022, the CDF experiment at Fermilab measured the W boson mass and found a challenge in the predictions of physics. However, the LHC measurement of the mass of the W boson found the exact expected value. What now?

SURF recently finished the overhaul of the Yates mine shaft that transports personnel and supplies for experiments underground, including DUNE. The Yates Shaft is one of two mineshafts inside 370 miles of tunnels and shafts that was once North America’s deepest gold mine.

Fermilab Senior Scientist Grigory Eremeev built and tested the first niobium-tin alloy cryomodule called Gray Enid I as part of his DOE Early Career Award when he was at Jefferson Lab. The cryomodule, is now being prepared for its first electron beam tests.
