Atomic Experiments for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration
Atomic Experiments for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration A workshop on “Atomic Experiments for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration” was held at CERN on 22nd and 23rd of July, More than 130 participants met at CERN to review the landscape of cold atom experiments for exploring dark sector physics, gravitational effects and new fundamental interactions.

Eissa Alnasrallah
Eissa Alnasrallah The first time I heard of CERN was 2012 when a colleague of mine went for the summer program. It happened to be the year they announce the Higgs Boson discovery.Since then, it became my dream to join CERN's summer program but it was never the right time, I always had something that

Exploring dark sector with NA64: First results from the combined analysis of 2016-2018 runs
Exploring dark sector with NA64: First results from the combined analysis of 2016-2018 runs Searches for dark matter (DM) particles, an essential experimental goal for particle physics, are entering in an interesting stage. Despite the strong astrophysical evidence for dark matter, little is still known about the origin and dynamics of this substance of our

MUonE experiment plans to shed light on the muon anomalous magnetic moment
MUonE experiment plans to shed light on the muon anomalous magnetic moment BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/muone-experiment-plans-shed-light-muon-anomalous-magnetic-moment) The long-standing discrepancy between the experimental value and the Standard Model (SM) prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon remains one of fundamental parameters in Quantum Field Theory that still lacks an explanation.

COMPASS++/AMBER: A new QCD facility at CERN’s SPS M2 beam line
COMPASS++/AMBER: A new QCD facility at CERN's SPS M2 beam line The COMPASS++/AMBER Collaboration proposes to establish a “New QCD facility at the M2 beam line of the CERN SPS”. Such an unrivalled installation would make the experimental hall EHN2 the site for a great variety of measurements to address fundamental issues of strong interactions.

Searching for new physics with hadrons and muons at SPS
Searching for new physics with hadrons and muons at SPS CERN is not only home to the LHC but provides a diverse physics programme using the LHC injector complex including the PS and the SPS that deliver a range of high-energy beams to a number of experiments. In order to fully exploit the scientific potential

FASER joins the exploration for new physics
FASER joins the exploration for new physics On March 5th the CERN Research Board approved the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER), for installation at the LHC during Long Shutdown 2. FASER is an experiment designed to broaden the search for new physics at the LHC, by looking for light, weakly- interacting new particles that could be

HIE-ISOLDE: a unique window into the nucleus
HIE-ISOLDE: a unique window into the nucleus With the recent completion of the second phase of HIE-ISOLDE, CERN’s ISOLDE facility has a machine capable of answering long-unanswered questions about the nature of the nucleus. The installation of 4 cryomodules in 2018 allowed for the acceleration of radioactive isotopes up to 7.4 MeV/u for A/q =

First measurement of a long-lived meson-meson atom lifetime
First measurement of a long-lived meson-meson atom lifetime In addition to the ordinary atoms, abnormal or exotic atoms serve as tools to study in detail the structure of atoms and their interactions. Different exotic atoms, consisting of other building blocks than electrons, protons and neutrons, have been observed and investigated. The DIRAC collaboration at CERN

FASER experiment to look for long-lived particles
FASER experiment to look for long-lived particles At its last meeting CERN’s Research Board approved a new experiment that will look for light and weakly interacting long-lived particles at the LHC. The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will search for particles that might be produced parallel to the LHC’s beam line and may travel hundreds of
