The year in Outreach activities
The year in Outreach activities 01 DECEMBER, 2024 | By Kristiane Bernhard-Novotny As I revisited the advent calendars from past years, almost every story sparked my interest. One story particularly caught my attention: the FORMOSA demonstrator, which came to life thanks to a spontaneous cabling campaign – a perfect example of teamwork and dedication. This

Illuminating Neutrino Mysteries: WCTE’s quest begins in East Area
Illuminating Neutrino Mysteries: WCTE’s quest begins in East Area Neutrinos are among the most mysterious particles in the Standard Model. Properties such as their mass and their potential role in the universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry remain unknown. Paving the way to a new near detector for Hyper-Kamiokande, the Water Cherenkov Test Experiment (WCTE) aims to shed

BASE Collaboration transports protons for the first time
BASE Collaboration transports protons for the first time Today, the BASE Collaboration achieved a major milestone: This morning, they successfully moved their transportable trap BASE-STEP, loaded with protons, inside the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) hall for the first time – a proof of principle that paves the way for future groundbreaking antiproton precision measurements. After everything

Entering the precision era in neutrino physics
Entering the precision era in neutrino physics The ND280 detector, an essential part of the T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) neutrino experiment in Japan, has needed a significant upgrade to enhance its ability to precisely measure neutrino interactions. T2K aims to improve our understanding of CP violation in the lepton sector, a phenomenon that could explain

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
