LHC physics data taking gets underway at new record collision energy of 8TeV
LHC physics data taking gets underway at new record collision energy of 8TeV Geneva, 5 April 2012. At 3:38 CEST this morning, the LHC shift crew declared ‘stable beams' as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC's four interaction points. This signals the start of physics data taking by the LHC experiments for 2012.

CERN experiment makes spectroscopic measurement of antihydrogen
CERN experiment makes spectroscopic measurement of antihydrogen Geneva, 7 March 2012. In a paper published online today by the journal Nature , the ALPHA collaboration at CERN 1 reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms. This follows news reported in June last year that the collaboration had routinely trapped antihydrogen atoms for long periods of time.

L’avancement de la recherche du Higgs
Les collaborations ATLAS et CMS présentent l'avancement de leur recherche du Higgs 13 décembre 2011. à l'occasion d'un séminaire qui s'est tenu aujourd'hui au CERN, les collaborations ATLAS et CMS ont présenté l'avancement de leur recherche du boson de Higgs du Modèle standard.

ATLAS and CMS experiments present Higgs search status
ATLAS and CMS experiments present Higgs search status 13 December 2011. In a seminar held at CERN 1 today, the ATLAS 2 and CMS 3 experiments presented the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. Their results are based on the analysis of considerably more data than those presented at the summer conferences, sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the elusive Higgs.
