The surprising discovery of neutrinos travelling faster than light, which would challenge some of our core assumptions of physics, may have been the result of errors in the equipment used in the ...

The research center aims to test two large prototype detectors for the DUNE experiment. In the midst of the verdant French countryside is a workshop the size of an aircraft hangar bustling with ...

SHiP shape: the SPS could have a new experiment by 2026. (Courtesy: Piotr Traczyk) A new experiment to search for hypothetical particles known as sterile neutrinos has been given the green light by ...

In a lab at CERN sits a very important box. It covers about three parking spaces and is more than a story tall. Sitting inside is a metal device that tracks energetic cosmic particles. This is a ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...

Millions of barely perceptible “ghost” particles called neutrinos fly through our bodies at every second. With almost zero mass and no charge, these particles don’t even so much as tickle us. They do, ...

CERN has switched on a new neutrino beam, aimed through the earth to the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratories some 730km away near Rome. This is the latest addition to a global endeavour to understand this ...

A new partnership between scientists from US institutions and CERN could improve results from neutrino experiments around the world. The scientists hope to use equipment at CERN to gain a more precise ...

Geneva, 15 August 2005. Scientists at CERN1 today announced the completion of the target assembly for the CERN neutrinos to Gran Sasso project, CNGS. On schedule for start-up in May 2006, CNGS will ...

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, have reported the detection of neutrino signals in a world first for the particle smashing ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance works on July 19, 2013 in Meyrin, near Geneva. Tests at the world's biggest collider have provided the ...

In the midst of the verdant French countryside is a workshop the size of an aircraft hangar bustling with activity. In a well-lit new extension, technicians cut through thick slices of steel with ...
