The SESAME project
The SESAME project Great scientific ideas have been born, shaped and cultivated in the CERN corridors and cafeteria. But CERN was founded not only as a place where knowledge could be accumulated and advanced but also as a place where European healing was attempted after the horrors of World War II as well as during

Neutrino properties from cosmology
Neutrino properties from cosmology Cosmology has entered the precision era: we now have a standard model for cosmology where the content, history and evolution of the Universe are described by few parameters. These parameters are constrained by observations at the percent level or better. As for particle physics and the search for beyond the standard

A philosophical experiment
A philosophical experiment In 2008 a group of high-energy physicists, philosophers and historians of science decided to join forces to take a closer and critical look at the knowledge production which would accompany the first phase of operation of the LHC. In 2010, thanks to the support of the German Research foundation (DFG), the interdisciplinary
