The 12 founding member states of CERN in 1954. [13]The convention establishing CERN [14] was ratified on 29 September 1954 by 12 countries in Western Europe. [15] The acronym CERN originally represented the French words for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire ('European Council for Nuclear Research'), which was a provisional council for building the laboratory, established by 12 ...
A CERN spokesperson, Arnaud Marsollier, told BI that Russia's 4.5% budget contribution to CERN's experiments, about $2.7 million, was now covered by "other institutes."
About 8% of the workforce are of Russian nationality. In June 2022, CERN said the governing council "intends to terminate" CERN's cooperation agreements with Belarus and Russia when they expire, respectively in June and December 2024. CERN said it would monitor developments in Ukraine and remains prepared to take additional steps as warranted.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will end cooperation with up to 500 scientists affiliated with Russian institutions, it said on Monday, because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus (ALPHA), also known as AD-5, is an experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator, designed to trap antihydrogen in a magnetic trap in order to study its atomic spectra. The ultimate goal of the experiment is to test CPT symmetry through comparing the respective spectra of hydrogen and antihydrogen. [1]
The first of the two prototypes, the single-phase ProtoDUNE (CERN experiment NP04 [23]), recorded its first particle tracks in September 2018. [24] CERN's participation in DUNE marked a new direction in CERN's neutrino's research [25] and the experiments are referred to as part of the Neutrino Platform in the laboratory's research programme.

The AWAKE (Advanced WAKEfield Experiment) facility at CERN is a proof-of-principle experiment, which investigates wakefield plasma acceleration using a proton bunch as a driver, a world-wide first. It aims to accelerate a low-energy witness bunch of electrons from 15 to 20 M eV to several GeV over a short distance (10 m) by creating a high ...
It is CERN's first synchrotron, beginning its operation in 1959. For a brief period the PS was the world's highest energy particle accelerator . It has since served as a pre-accelerator for the Intersecting Storage Rings ( ISR ) and the Super Proton Synchrotron ( SPS ), and is currently part of the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) accelerator complex.
