Read article 'Physics resumes at LHC'
First stable beams in the LHC were declared on 23 May, just 25 days after the first beam was injected and almost three weeks ahead of schedule. Since then, interleaved with physics operation and remai...
Read article 'LHCb discovers new baryon'
The LHCb collaboration has discovered a new weakly decaying particle: a baryon called the Ξ++cc, which contains two charm quarks and an up quark. The discovery of the new particle, which was observed...
Read article 'CMS observes production of same-sign W-boson pairs'
A recent analysis by CMS aimed to identify events in which a W-boson pair is produced purely via the electroweak interaction.
Read article 'ATLAS probes Higgs boson at 13 TeV'
One of the most sensitive measurement channels involves Higgs boson decays via two Z bosons to four leptons.
Read article 'ALICE zooms in on evolution of the quark–gluon plasma'
The precise particle-identification and momentum-measurement capabilities of the ALICE experiment allow researchers to reconstruct a variety of short-lived particles or resonances in heavy-ion collisi...
Read article 'XENON1T releases first data'
XENON1T is the first tonne-scale detector of its kind and is designed to search for WIMP dark matter by measuring nuclear recoils from WIMP–nucleus scattering.

The European Space Agency (ESA) gave the official go-ahead for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).
Read article 'LHC luminosity upgrade accelerates'
CERN has recently implemented two important steps towards the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) – an upgrade that will increase the intensity of the LHC’s collisions significantly from the early 2020s....
Read article 'Neutrino detectors on the move'
On 12 June, two large detector modules for the ICARUS experiment were loaded onto trucks at CERN to begin a six-week journey to Fermilab in the US. ICARUS will form part of Fermilab’s short-baseline...
