Editorial – May 2015
Editorial – May 2015 Dear Colleagues, With the LHC now back in action, all the LHC experiments are preparing to study the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved in the laboratory, and search for clear signs of physics beyond the Standard Model. Earlier in April the first beams circulated and the control rooms of all four

Editorial – March 2015
Editorial – March 2015 Dear Colleagues, Excitement is building as the restart of the LHC approaches, with first beam interactions seen during injection tests. But as you can read elsewhere in this edition of the newsletter, an intermittent short-circuit in one sector needs to be resolved before beams can circulate, which may result in a

Editorial – November 2014
Editorial – November 2014 Dear Colleagues, As mentioned in the last newsletter, NA62 has just started to take data for the first time after years of hard work preparing the experiment. They will learn a lot from the data taken this year, ready to start the hunt for the extremely rare K+ → π+ν ̅ν

Editorial – September 2014
Editorial – September 2014 Dear Colleagues, This is an exciting time at CERN, with the accelerator chain starting up again after the long shutdown. Although the LHC will not be ready for data taking until next Spring, the rest of the broad program of physics is coming back to life. In particular, the facilities for

Editorial – July 2014
Editorial – July 2014 Dear Colleagues, while the preparation for the Run 2 of the LHC experiments is progressing at full steam, the analysis of the Run 1 data has advanced on many fronts, as presented at the ICHEP conference in Valencia at the beginning of this month. Beyond the LHC, CERN has a rich

Editorial – March 2014
Editorial – March 2014 Dear Colleagues, For this issue of the PH Newsletter we have focused on the activities related to the Future Circular Collider, which is being considered as a possible long term future for the laboratory, to follow the LHC. There was a recent kick-off meeting for these studies which was held in

Editorial – May 2014
Editorial – May 2014 Dear Colleagues, Although still in full swing of the preparation of the next round of data taking, due to start early next year, the LHC experiments are more and more intensively looking into the future. Therefore, this issue of the PH Newsletter is focused on their upgrade programmes, in particular the

Editorial – October 2013
Editorial – October 2013 Dear Colleagues, The award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to F.Englert and P.Higgs “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and
