Recent results from the LHC shows that that the Standard Model works with a remarkable accuracy within the presently accessible energy range. However there is now overwhelming evidence for the existence of Dark Matter; a component of our Universe…
Read MORETo meet the challenges of the neutrino programme at CERN, the EP department recently announced the establishment of a neutrino group in the department. The group will act as a focal point for the activities of the accelerator-based experimental…
Read MOREA report discussing the opportunities for physics discoveries with a future 100 TeV hadron circular collider was presented earlier this summer during the 2016 FCC Week. A future hadron-hadron collider machine will be able to cover previously…
Read MOREIn the last few years, a clear trend has emerged in the data science industry: the increase of service offerings for data analysis in the cloud, accessible via a web interface. It is precisely this phenomenon that led us, the SFT and IT-ST groups,…
Read MOREThe LHC has started its Run2, exploring for the first time the high-energy frontier at 13 TeV. Collected data will give decisive information on the dynamics behind electroweak symmetry breaking and allow testing the weak-scale…
Read MOREA citizen science project, called HiggsHunters gives everyone the chance to help search for the Higgs boson's relatives. Volunteers are searching through thousands of images from the ATLAS experiment on the HiggsHunters.org (link is…
Read MOREThe CERN School of Computing (CSC) fosters the dissemination of knowledge and learning in the field of scientific computing. Its mission is to create a common culture in scientific computing among young scientists and engineers involved in particle…
Read MOREASACUSA (atomic spectroscopy and collisions using slow antiprotons) now works mainly on two subjects, 1) antihydrogen ground-state hyperfine splitting measurement, and 2) antiprotonic helium laser spectroscopy. Both of these aim at CPT tests.…
Read MOREThe Future Circular Collider study for hadron-hadron collisions (FCC-hh) foresees a collision energy of 100 TeV, which is about 7 times higher than the LHC. For the detectors this means that in order to determine the properties of the particles the…
