Vertical shafts instead of slanted ones, news from the detector concepts, familiar and new faces and a lot of exchange – that’s nowhere near a summary of a week of discussions between some 300 linear collider experts from around the world… but it’s a start. Look at a selection of photos in this photo album […]
LHC breaks new energy record
6.5 TeV in a circulating beam! Since the LHC’s restart on 5 April after its long shutdown, operations have gone smoothly in the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. Since 10 April, the machine is holder of a new energy record (breaking the record it set itself), accelerating proton beams up to 6.5 TeV. According to […]

European School of High-Energy Physics
The 2015 European School of High-Energy Physics will be held in Bulgaria from 2 to 15 September 2015. The deadline for applications is 8 May. The lectures will cover a broad range of HEP topics at a level suitable for students working for a PhD in experimental particle physics. One or two students from developing countries could be […]
LHC’s two-year shutdown drawing to a close
#500+!
504 videos and counting: the #mylinearcollider campaign has reached its first big milestone. A big thanks to everybody who stood up in front of cameras or microphones and told the world why they support the linear collider. See all videos on the #mylinearcollider playlist and keep them coming…
Say “CLIC”!
The CLIC annual workshop, held at CERN from 26 to 30 January, did not only bring together nearly 300 accelerator and detectors experts to discuss the next stages of the project – it also featured a session on possible applications from CLIC technology, which drew experts from other fields such as light sources, medical research […]

CERN-KEK offices established
CERN and KEK have a long history of collaboration. An agreement signed at KEK on 21 November puts this on even firmer ground: both labs will establish CERN-KEK offices to increase the collaborative effort on accelerator R&D and construction projects of mutual interest.. There are a number of key projects that fall into this category: the […]
