CERN

The first Indian scientist to join CERN was recently recognized with the highest honor of India for overseas citizens.

You are invited to join a live event at the CERN neutrino platform, Fermilab’s neutrino control room and SURF’s Ross Hoistroom for, “Particle pursuit, a journey of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment” on June 15 at 11:00 a.m. CDT. All three labs will be broadcasting live simultaneously for a behind scenes tour of the preparations for DUNE and discussing all things neutrinos.

From CERN, June 6, 2023: Join CERN, Fermilab and Sanford Underground Research Facility on June 15 at 11 a.m. CDT for its first gameshow-style livestream to learn about all things neutrinos. Click to learn more about this exciting virtual event.

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.
