We are thrilled to host the 2025 European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics in the vibrant city of Marseille, France. This exciting event will take place at the iconic Palais du Pharo ...

Pixel detectors have their roots in photography. Up until 50 years ago, every camera contained a roll of film on which images were photochemically recorded with each exposure, after which the ...

50 years ago CERN’s Intersecting Storage Rings set in motion a series of hadron colliders charting nature at the highest possible energies, write Lyn Evans and Peter Jenni. New era CERN’s Intersecting ...

Brand new ALICE 3 is built around a high-resolution tracker with a specialised vertex detector within the beam pipe, housed in a superconducting solenoidal magnet and complemented by several detectors ...

The past seven decades have seen remarkable cultural and technological changes. And CERN has been no passive observer. From modelling European cooperation in the aftermath of World War II to ...

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 ...
