CERN Accelerating science

Editorial - February 2014

by Livio Mapelli

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the first PH Newsletter for 2014. This is going to be an exciting year, with LS1 past its halfway point, and the injector chain starting up for physics...

The AEgIS Experiment

The AEgIS experiment (Antimatter Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) at CERN is designed to examine the effects of gravity on antimatter.

From January 2014, the Education Group has moved from the PH Department to the Stakeholder Relations Office that will manage and sustain CERN's relationship with key audiences

PH Department: at the heart of CERN
