CERN

What happens when you pair CERN scientists with science fiction writers to create short stories inspired by particle physics?

Prototyping is an indispensable step in the development of particle physics experiments like DUNE and projects like PIP-II.

Scientists working on the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are developing a vertical drift detector. The new technology may open doors to building large neutrino detectors at a lower cost and in a simpler manner.

The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons.

Claire Lee works for the US-CMS collaboration at CERN. When she’s not taking shifts in the CMS control room, ensuring the detectors are functioning properly and safely, she takes guests on tours and teaches them about the amazing particle physics investigated by the variety of experiments there.

To build the DUNE neutrino experiment and its associated accelerator upgrade, experts invent customized ways to transport fragile, expensive and highly specialized components.

A recent report underscores the importance of energy consumption and cost to decisions about future large-scale particle accelerator projects.

A handful of physicists have prepared the detector for a more sophisticated dark matter search.

The discovery of the Higgs boson inspired young people around the world to pursue a career in science and technology.

Neglected theories will wilt and wither but can bloom again with enough attention.
