The kickoff meeting took of the "Physics Beyond Colliders" study group took place on 6th and 7th of September 2016 at CERN exploring how CERN’s accelerator complex could target fundamental physics questions.
SESAME’s first beams will be circulating this autumn and the pioneering new regional laboratory has announced last month its first call for proposals for experiments.

The ASACUSA experiment focuses on antihydrogen ground-state hyperfine splitting measurement and antiprotonic helium laser spectroscopy, both aiming at precise CPT tests.
BASE collaboration, approved in 2013, will conduct Penning trap based high-precision investigations of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons providing stringent tests of the CPT symmetry.
Guido Tonelli, former spokesperson of the CMS experiment reflects on the present situation in particle physics and the significance of having a vision for the future.
The workshop “Charting the Unknown: Interpreting LHC data from the energy frontier” focused on the interpretation of the new data from Run 2 in the context of theories beyond the Standard Model.
This summer the EP department hosted more than 230 summer students, who got involved in some of the world’s biggest experiments and challenging projects.
Playing with Protons is a new science education initiative led by the CMS Experiment that contributes to this effort by encouraging primary school teachers to engage in professional development opportunities, designed to enrich teachers’ pedagogical practice with creative, hands-on methodologies.
The increase of service offerings for data analysis in the cloud, accessible via a web interface led the SFT and IT-ST groups, to the creation of SWAN, the CERN Service for Web-based ANalysis.
