With COMPASS-II CERN enters in the exploration of a new territory: the structure of the proton in multiple dimensions. Following previous studies of the polarization of quarks and gluons; now the focus has shifted to a picture of the proton in terms of additional variables.

Measurements by the BASE experiment have compared the same properties of protons and antiprotons to high precision while the ALICE collaboration has measured the difference between mass-to-charge ratios for deuterons and antideuterons, as well as for helium-3  and antihelium-3 nuclei.

The Totem experiment has shown with recent data that in collaboration with CMS is possible to enlarge the original physics program in the diffractive proton interaction field. To deal with this new requirement new detectors have been developed and will be installed soon. 

For the first time at ISOLDE ¹⁵¹Eu emission MS has been achieved paving new ways in biophysics and a wide range of photonic applications such as photovoltaics, sensors, fluorescent bio-labels, fibre-optic communications and more.

AMSdays‬ : experiments present the latest results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS)

Two ISOLDE scientists have received prestigious awards this year for their research in the field of nuclear and particle physics.

Over the last weeks, while everyone has been excited with the restart of LHC, the NA62 experiment at CERN has already started producing the first data, following the circulation of the first beams in the acceleration chain.

The NA61/SHINE programme passed some important milestones over the past several months. Marek Gazdzicki gives an overview of recent results and highlights future the steps.

ISOLDE offers to its users a number of tailored courses in electrical safety and raditation protection in close collaboration with the HSE unit, the DGS-RP group and PH's Departmental Safety Officer.

This year, the SPS accelerated argon ions for the first time, delivering beam to the NA61/SHINE experiment in the North Area.
