You can gain extra visibility for your meeting or conference by adding it to the CERN Courier events calendar. We accept all events that are relevant to the high-energy physics community, and all ...

Louis Lyons traces the origins of the “five sigma” criterion in particle physics, and asks whether it remains a relevant marker for claiming the discovery of new physics.

Launched in February 2019, the European Union project ESCAPE is making strides towards an open scientific analysis infrastructure for particle physics and astronomy. Accelerator physicist and science ...

The Strings 2024 conference looked at the latest developments in the interconnected fields of quantum gravity and quantum field theory, all under the overarching framework of string theory. The ...

Simone Ragoni’s book is a delightful gift for anyone whom you want to inspire to become a particle physicist of tomorrow, writes Chetna Krishna. Inspired by CERN’s international teacher programme and ...

Andrzej Buras explains how two rare kaon decays and four rare B-meson decays will soon probe for new physics beyond the reach of direct searches at colliders.

The MMAP 2020 conference covered a mixture of low- to high-energy physics on the one hand and the cosmology of the creation of the universe on the other.

Collaboration is the engine-room of scientific progress for Europe’s large-scale research facilities. That truism also applies in equal measure to the enabling technologies that underpin day-to-day ...

The wonder and awe that we sense when we look at the starry skies is a major motivation to do science. Both Plato (Theaetetus 155d) and Aristotle (Metaphysics 982b12) wrote that philosophy starts in w ...

How can Europe’s large-scale research facilities better engage with industry and, in so doing, broaden their user base while amplifying downstream socioeconomic impacts? That’s the central question ...
