Thar she blows! And him! Oh, and her too? Here’s a picture story that really cheered us up yesterday. We were all feeling a bit, sort of, you know … Monday … and this arrived just in time. It’s a simply brilliant work of modern art from the photographer Tadao Cern, and you’ll find it in all it’s glory at his website, unsurprisingly called tadaocern.com. But that’s possibly the only thing that’s...  

Leonardo da Vinci may have been a forward-thinking engineer, but what if he had gotten into the particle physics game? CERN researcher Dr. Sergio Cittolin brought out his (not so) inner Renaissance Man with these illustrations of the Large Hadron Collider ...  

Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) May 02, 2012 Physicists from the University of Zurich have discovered a previously unknown particle composed of three quarks in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator. A new baryon could thus be detected for the first time at the LHC. The baryon known as Xi_b^* confirms fundamental assumptions of physics regarding the binding of quarks. In particle physics, the baryon family refers to par

So far, the CMS detector hasn't found any indications of supersymmetric particles. CMS/CERN I spent three days last week at the Phenomenology 2012 Symposium in Pittsburgh, known as Pheno 2012. Phenomenology specifically refers to the practice of predicting and analyzing the results of particle physics experiments, and the symposium looked at the possibility of a "new physics"—things not predicted by...  

Sunnyvale, CA — May 15, 2012 Electric Cloud®, a leading DevOps automation company, today announced that CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has deployed the company's ElectricCommander solution to automate and accelerate the application development efforts of more than 20,000 users of its ROOT software.  

Geneva, 14 May 2012. Space, time and gravity are under the cultural spotlight at CERN this month with the arrival of Gilles Jobin, the laboratory's first choreographer in residence and winner of the Collide@CERN Geneva prize, which is supported by the Canton and City of Geneva. Jobin is an internationally renowned Swiss choreographer with a company in Geneva. His CERN inspiration partner for his three-month residency at the laboratory will...  

In particle physics, the baryon family refers to particles that are made up of three quarks. Quarks form a group of six particles that differ in their masses and charges. The two lightest quarks, the so-called “up” and “down” quarks, form the two atomic components, protons and neutrons. All baryons that are composed of the three lightest quarks (“up”, “down” and “strange” quarks) are known. Only very few baryons with heavy quarks have been...

The problem is known as pile-up ... Already, “we’ve done humongously better than we thought we could,” says Mike Lamont, the head of accelerator operations at CERN. Every time two tightly packed bunches of protons cross, they generate not one ...  

European researchers say they have discovered a new subatomic particle that helps confirm our knowledge about how quarks bind — one of the basic forces in the shaping of matter. The CERN physics research center said Friday that the particle was predicted long ago, but finding it was "really kind of a classic tour de force of experimental work." Known Continue...  

Like, what would happen if you put your hand in the beam? The folks from Sixty Symbols recently asked some physicists that very question and got some rather puzzled responses, so they went straight to CERN itself to get a definitive answer.
