From CERN, Jan. 26, 2021: This week marks the 50th anniversary of the first proton collisions in CERN’s Intersecting Storage Rings, the first hadron collider ever built. To celebrate, see hadron colliders of the last half-century — including the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider — through a historical lens, with an eye toward the quest for high luminosity and new energy frontiers.

On Tuesday, Fermilab celebrated the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the neutrino with cake in the Wilson Hall atrium. On June 14, 1956, Los Alamos scientists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines sent a telegram to Wolfgang Pauli confirming they had “definitely detected neutrinos.”
