Sustainable HEP brings together the high-energy physics community to explore the intersection of particle physics and sustainability, covering topics such as energy efficiency, material use, ...

In this book, Jacques Vanier gives a comprehensive picture of the physical laws that appear to regulate the functioning of the universe, from the atomic to the cosmic world. A leading figure of ...

A quarter of a century ago, several theorists published an unexpected result which opened the door to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the unusual field theory that describes quarks and gluons. This ye ...

Neutrino beams lack the precision that modern oscillation experiments demand. Laura Munteanu, Mathieu Perrin-Terrin and Stephen Dolan describe how neutrino tagging, proposed in 1979 and demonstrated ...

Radiopharmaceuticals based on novel radionuclides have, for the first time, reached blockbuster proportions. Thierry Stora explains why high-energy physics has an essential role to play in scaling up ...

The universe is a cosmic web, woven from vast filaments that connect galaxies and clusters. Elena Pinetti explains how these elusive threadlike structures are opening a new window on the nature of ...

Looking back on two terms as CERN Director-General, Fabiola Gianotti discusses some highlights of her tenure, the opening of CERN to private philanthropy and the case for science as a force for peace.

The European Strategy has recommended the FCC-ee as CERN’s next flagship collider. The case for it, Alain Blondel argues, rests on 50 years of inventions and discoveries. Alain Blondel is emeritus ...

A report from the ALICE experiment. Fig. 1. Deuteron coalescence parameter B 2 in jets (full markers) and out of jets (open markers) in p–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5 ...

A report from the ATLAS experiment. The origin of the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe, of the order of one part in 10 billion, is one of the open questions in particle ...
