How a small number changed the universe
How a small number changed the universe More than 4 decades of kaon experiments in CERN’s North Area proved how a small number changed the universe. The recent history of kaon physics experiments at the SPS started in the beginning of 1980 in the office of the later Nobel Prize winner Jack Steinberger with a

BE-EA@IPAC
BE-EA@IPAC The work of the BE-EA group was well represented at this year's IPAC, the flagship conference in accelerator physics. Three members of BE-EA-LE presented five posters from 19 to 24 May in Nashville, Tennessee. A central part of their work was dedicated to studies for the he competitors that hoped to succeed the NA62

North Area beams back in action
North Area beams back in action With the North Area beamlines being ready, the physics start on 10 April marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season filled with physics. The first beams in CERN's North Area, one of the most important facilities for fixed-target experiments and test beam users worldwide, kicked

Kicking off the test-beam season
Kicking off the test-beam season On 22 March, the East Area kicked off the test-beam season with the ALICE and SHiP experiments. As spring arrives in the northern hemisphere, the CERN accelerator awakens and begins the data-taking and test-beam seasons. CERN’s East Area, which receives the beam from the Proton Synchrotron and serves now as

Giants from CERN’s North Area
Giants from CERN’s North Area During Herwig Schopper’s acclaimed period as CERN Director General, two North Area experiments made three seminal discoveries, of which two of them still leave physicists puzzled. During the 1980s and with Herwig Schopper leading the Laboratory into the LEP era, CERN’s North Area witnessed groundbreaking physics experiments, such as the

No better time than now
No better time than now Many women working at CERN pursued studies in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields to follow their passion to drive positive change, solve complex problems, and make meaningful contributions to science. On the occasion of the 9th International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we take the opportunity to

A year full of excitement
A year full of excitement The Experimental Areas (EA) group of CERN’s Beam department gathered on 19 January to hear about the plethora of works carried out during the last year. It was clear that the services provided by the members of each section are essential to run the fixed-target experiments conducted at CERN, including
