Earlier in October, the Large Hadron Collider had a special run of colliding xenon nuclei; a new flavour compared to the standard proton and lead collisions foreseen in the LHC experimental programme.
Scientists working at the Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) at CERN have contributed to the most precise measurement of a single proton's mass to date, advancing our understanding of nature and its symmetries.

A recent paper suggests that streaming dark matter (DM) axions may be the better source for discovering the candidate particles of one of the few fundamental open questions in physics
Apart from high-precision measurement of rare processes that could reveal new physics, the NA62 collaboration is also looking into the possibility of the existence of exotic particles.

MoEDAL has finished an initial campaign of calibration and is now poised start to produce greatly enhanced results, with unparalleled sensitivity, using the full detector
ALPHA experiment observed the 1S-2S transition in trapped antihydrogen. This is the first time a spectral line has been observed in antihydrogen and the next steps are to measure the transition's lineshape and increase the precision of the measurement.
On 28th September, the ISOLDE Collaboration celebrated the completion of stage 1 of the HIE-ISOLDE project, which opens up new physics opportunities for radioactive ion beam experiments at CERN.
