Sustainable HEP brings together the high-energy physics community to explore the intersection of particle physics and sustainability, covering topics such as energy efficiency, material use, ...

André de Gouvêa explains why neutrino masses imply the existence of new fundamental fields. Misfits Massive neutrinos are not part of the Standard Model. Credit: Symmetry After all these years, ...

From targets to absorbers, beam-intercepting devices are vital to CERN’s accelerator complex. Marco Calviani describes the major upgrades taking place to prepare for the high-luminosity LHC, and the ...

An electron–positron collider to follow the LHC will produce copious Higgs bosons, yielding precise knowledge of this unique particle, explain Keith Ellis and Beate Heinemann. The novelty of the Higgs ...

Oliver James of DNEG, which produced the striking black hole in the film Interstellar, describes the science behind visual effects and the challenges in this fast-growing industry. Gargantua A variant ...

What is the fate of the universe? Why is there more matter than antimatter? What lurks beyond the Standard Model? Valentina Cairo and Steven Lowette explore the physics reach of the High-Luminosity ...

Jochen Klein and Marco van Leeuwen describe the physics motivation, detector concept and projected performance of a next-generation heavy-ion programme for LHC Runs 5 and 6. Brand new ALICE 3 is built ...

Breaking with decades of haloscope design, the ALPHA and MADMAX collaborations are pushing the search for dark matter into a promising new niche. High-mass haloscope Graduate student Heather Jackson ...

What a proton is depends on how you look at it, or rather on how hard you hit it. A century after Rutherford’s discovery, our picture of this ubiquitous particle is coming into focus, says Amanda ...

In the summer of 1968, while a visitor in CERN’s theory division, Gabriele Veneziano wrote a paper titled “Construction of a crossing-symmetric, Regge behaved amplitude for linearly-rising ...

Gianluigi Arduini, Philip Burrows and Jacqueline Keintzel report on the findings of a working group mandated to compare seven proposals for CERN’s next large-scale collider. The view from Le Reculet ...

David Wallace argues for the ‘decoherent view’ of quantum mechanics, where at the fundamental level there is neither probability nor wavefunction collapse – and for its purest incarnation, the ...
