After two years of intense maintenance and consolidation, and several months of preparation for restart, the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, is back in operation.
A short circuit that had delayed the relaunch of the Large Hadron Collider has been remedied. Now the LHC is back on track for the initiation of Run 2.
On Occasion of this years' spring conferences of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft over 10.000 experts from all around the world will come together to discuss current scientific issues. Throughout march there will be conferences in Bochum,…

The Council of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (German Physical Society, DPG) has unanimously elected particle physicist Rolf-Dieter Heuer to be the next President of the DPG for the period of office starting in 2016. The DPG is the largest…
This week ATLAS launched the citizen science project "Higgs Hunters" in cooperation with Oxford University and New York University. The project gives volunteers the chance to help researchers deal with the huge amount of data that confronts them.
On November 24th CERN launched its Open Data Portal where data from real collision events, produced by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will for the first time be made openly available to all. It is expected that these data will be of…
Today the collaboration for the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider announced the discovery of two new baryons. The particles, known as the Xi_b'- and Xi_b*-, were predicted to exist by the quark model but had never been seen before.
