To identify signs of particles like the Higgs boson, CERN researchers work with mountains of data generated by LHC collisions. Hunting for evidence of an object whose behavior is predicted by ...

The selected events are then sent to the CERN Data Center, where the data is copied, stored and eventually made available to scientists around the world for data analysis. In preparation for the ...

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

“We were learning many things, like measuring cosmic rays and using Cern’s data acquisition system, but also making mistakes, talking with researchers, and being allowed to play and discover.

At the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, particle physicist Jasper Kirkby studies the link between aerosols, cosmic rays and cloud formation, using the data to inform climate models. “It’s ...

A new optical fiber link between CERN and Paris will provide the Laboratory with an accurate frequency reference, enhancing precision and supporting experiments like ALPHA in their search for ...

The answer is a new superconducting magnet prototype under development at CERN, lovingly named Fusillo because of its shape. Originally, CERN physicists became interested in developing this ...

The State is on course to become a member of Cern – the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, one of the world’s largest centres for scientific research – early next year. Minister for ...

originally as a tool for scientists to share data before evolving into the digital backbone of modern life. In anticipation of their upcoming annual summit, “Uncertainty: CERN Art and Science ...

The NA62 experiment is roughly 270 metres long and is housed in the TCC8 and ECN3 caverns in CERN's North Area. (Image: ...

data, communications and industrial processes. Ireland’s membership of CERN – which the country applied for in 2023 – opens up vast opportunities for Irish citizens. Starting next year ...
