CERN
Bulletin

The 100th short straight section for the Large Hadron Collider was assembled at CERN at the beginning of April. These units combine superconducting quadrupoles and other multipole corrector magnets, housed in their cryostats, which are used to guide, focus and fine-tune the beam in the LHC. Building 904, where the 474 short straight sections are being assembled, is often called "Lego Land" by the workers, with a touch of humor and pride because of the wide variety of these sets of magnets and cryostats . >>

The renovation work on the Users Office, which began on 29 November, was completed last week. The Office's staff have now returned to their modernised and more spacious premises in Building 61. >>

As part of the sixth annual ceremony to honour its top suppliers, the CMS collaboration presented awards to nine firms. >>

This evening should shed a little more light on CERN! Come and discover the role played by light in the research performed at CERN or how physicists make use of it to gain a better understanding of particles and the history of our Universe. >>

On Thursday 7 April 2005, members of CERN Management welcomed recently-recruited staff members and fellows at the quarterly session of the Induction Programme (photographed here with Enrico CHIAVERI and Werner ZAPF, HR Department). >>

To mark the World Year of Physics, the Physics Section of the University of Geneva is organising a series of lectures for the uninitiated. >>
