Particles are back in the LHC

The LHC has introduced beam for the first time since the year-end technical stop began in December 2015. >>

Physics for all

“Physics for all” ran the cover story on the March issue of Physics World magazine, and it's a sentiment that we can surely all put our weight behind. The issue included an article about CERN’s LGBT community, and in particular last summer’s incidents of defacement of posters they had put up around the site. This story was picked up by The Sunday Times newspaper, which is widely read, and other media around the world have followed. So I’d like to set the record straight: there is no place for intolerance at CERN. >>

Computer Security: playing hardball? Unfortunately it’s necessary...

Time and time again, we see PCs and laptops being infected at CERN. While a local anti-virus software solution should provide you with basic protection, no anti-virus software will ever be able to detect all threats in a timely manner, nor will it be able to clean up an infection completely. If the anti-virus software doesn't manage to quarantine the infection immediately, reinstall your infected PC or laptop as soon as possible and change all your passwords afterwards to be on the safe side! >>
