- The chase for the Higgs boson is about to get bigger, faster, and costlier—but we need it
The search for the Higgs boson is expanding, with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a 17-mile-wide particle accelerator involving 10,000 scientists, set to become bigger, faster, and more expensive. The article suggests this may not be the largest scientific endeavor yet.
- Large Hadron Collider is shut down by CERN ahead of major upgrades to make it even more powerful
CERN has shut down the Large Hadron Collider in preparation for major upgrades aimed at enhancing its power.
- Castor: CERN Advanced STORage Manager
Castor is presented as CERN's Advanced STORage Manager, a storage solution highlighted on CERN's website and discussed on Hacker News with 18 points and one comment.
- CERN’s new chief on the gamble that could fix our picture of reality
Mark Thomson has become the new chief at CERN as particle physics faces deep unknowns and must make tough decisions about its future.
- Public debate begins on the 'Higgs factory,' Europe's future particle accelerator
A public debate has begun on the 'Higgs factory,' a proposed future particle accelerator in Europe. The discussion is linked to maintenance work at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in a CERN tunnel located in Echenevex, France, near Geneva.
- These exotic particles could break physics
CERN's latest Large Hadron Collider experiment observed 'Penguin' decays, which may indicate new physics beyond current theories. These exotic particle interactions could challenge existing physics models.
- Large Hadron Collider detects strange particle behavior that could rewrite physics
Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider observed unusual particle behavior in rare 'penguin decays' that may indicate physics beyond the Standard Model. The discrepancies suggest unknown particles or forces could be influencing the results.
- The exotic particles that could finally break the Standard Model
A recent CERN experiment at the Large Hadron Collider observed 'Penguin' decays that suggest the presence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The findings, published in Nature in May 2026, could challenge existing theoretical frameworks in particle physics.
- High-precision measurement of the W boson mass with the CMS experiment
The CMS experiment at CERN conducted a high-precision measurement of the W boson mass, confirming alignment with Standard Model predictions. This result contradicts recent anomalous measurements, highlighting consistency in particle physics theories.
- Higgs boson breakthrough was UK triumph, but British physics faces 'catastrophic' cuts
The UK celebrated a Higgs boson breakthrough as a national triumph but faces potential catastrophic funding cuts to its physics research. Britain is set to withdraw from contributing to the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrade.
