Exotic radioactive molecules could reveal physics beyond the Standard Model
Exotic radioactive molecules could reveal physics beyond the Standard Model The first spectroscopic study of radium monofluoride (RaF) suggests that these radioactive molecules can be used to perform high precision tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. The study was done at ISOLDE, CERN’s radioactive beam facility, by an international team of physicists and

T2K Neutrino Oscillation Results
T2K Neutrino Oscillation Results The T2K collaboration studies neutrino oscillations. These oscillations arise from quantum mechanical interference caused by the fact that every neutrino of the type electron, muon, or tau is a combination of three neutrino mass states. The neutrino type is determined by the associated heavy lepton (electron, muon, or tau) in the

FastIC and FastICpix developments
FastIC and FastICpix developments Precise time tagging is a hot topic in High Energy Physics and in other fields. A number of detector technologies are available but there are few multi-channel front-end ASICs capable of providing time tagging in the region of 10ps. This article describes two developments that are going on within the microelectronics

Face-Shield Production in EP-DT
Face-Shield Production in EP-DT With the COVID-19 pandemic, all our lives and routines have changed, at both the personal and professional level. Worklife at CERN has been impacted by an important lockdown, where we all had to face new challenges in terms of work reorganization. Despite all the difficulties however, CERN managed to go well
