LHC: from hot to cold

The first cryogenic feedbox designed to supply electricity to the superconducting magnets of one arc has just been installed at Point 8 of the LHC. This latest milestone is the reward for the joint efforts of the AT and TS Departments at CERN, the IHEP Institute in Moscow and CERN’s industrial partners who collaborated in its manufacture, and is a precursor to the forthcoming cool down of the first 3.3 km sector of the LHC. >>

OPERA's overture

OPERA's opening score has been played at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy, and it's in perfect harmony with the melody of the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN, 730 kilometres away. >>

LHCb connects its pipes

Two weeks ago the first beryllium section of the LHCb beam vacuum chamber was installed. This three-day operation, after requiring lengthy preparation work, demanded patience and precision as the first of four sections of the beampipe was connected to the vertex locator (VeLo) vacuum vessel. >>

Italian students win a trip to CERN

Six Italian high-school students visited CERN last week as part of a biennial project sponsored by the Italian Research ministry, the University of Ferrara and INFN. >>

ATLAS's inner detector installed in the heart of the experiment

The ATLAS collaboration recently celebrated a major engineering milestone, namely the transport and installation of the central part of the inner detector (ID-barrel) into the ATLAS detector. >>

First ALICE detectors installed!

Detectors to track down penetrating muon particles are the first to be placed in their final position in the ALICE cavern. >>

From the Danube to Lake Geneva

38 Hungarian teachers took part in the very first session of the new-look programme for secondary school teachers, which took place in Hungarian from 20 to 26 August. >>
