What is the fate of the universe? Why is there more matter than antimatter? What lurks beyond the Standard Model? Valentina Cairo and Steven Lowette explore the physics reach of the High-Luminosity ...
Patrick Koppenburg and Marco Pappagallo survey the 23 exotic hadrons discovered at the LHC so far. Twenty-three exotic states Five pentaquarks and 18 tetraquarks have been discovered so far at the LHC ...
From targets to absorbers, beam-intercepting devices are vital to CERN’s accelerator complex. Marco Calviani describes the major upgrades taking place to prepare for the high-luminosity LHC, and the ...
In the summer of 1968, while a visitor in CERN’s theory division, Gabriele Veneziano wrote a paper titled “Construction of a crossing-symmetric, Regge behaved amplitude for linearly-rising ...
What a proton is depends on how you look at it, or rather on how hard you hit it. A century after Rutherford’s discovery, our picture of this ubiquitous particle is coming into focus, says Amanda ...
André de Gouvêa explains why neutrino masses imply the existence of new fundamental fields. Misfits Massive neutrinos are not part of the Standard Model. Credit: Symmetry After all these years, ...
Mature design The CEPC Study Group has published a technical design report for its reference detector. Credit: CEPC Study Group 2025 arXiv:2510.05260 In October, the Circular Electron–Positron ...
The development at CERN of magnesium diboride cables and other advanced superconducting systems for the High-Luminosity LHC is also driving applications beyond fundamental research, describes Amalia ...
Breaking with decades of haloscope design, the ALPHA and MADMAX collaborations are pushing the search for dark matter into a promising new niche. High-mass haloscope Graduate student Heather Jackson ...
Astrophysical constraints stake out 90 orders of magnitude for the mass of dark-matter particles. Clara Murgui surveys this vast terrain before zooming in on a particularly interesting region of ...
Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further fundamental exploration and innovation in space technologies. Sky map The ...
With a new measurement imminent, the Courier explores the experimental results and theoretical calculations used to predict ‘muon g-2’ – one of particle physics’ most precisely known quantities and ...
