The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded starting grants to Magdalena Kowalska, a member of the ISOLDE physics team, and Claude Duhr, CERN Theory Division. The funding will enable them to build their own research teams at CERN, engaging postdocs and PhD students.
 

ISOLDE's Workshop and Users meeting "50th Anniversary Edition" took place at CERN from 15th to 17th December 2014.

The LHCf experiment has recently performed a very successful test beam.

Earlier this September, CLOUD restarted experiments following the end of LS1 for the PS/SPS accelerator complex.

After the long-shut down the SPS accelerator restarted in the beginning of October along with the NA62 experiment.

Maria Borge, ISOLDE's spokesperson, discusses the physics accomplishments of the first six weeks of beam time

The newly constructed second experimental area (EAR2) of the n_TOF facility received its first neutron beam on July 25 2014 after the LS1.

ELENA is a CERN project aiming to construct a small 30 m circumference synchrotron to further decelerate anti-protons from the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) from 5.3 MeV down to 100 keV.

The 1^st workshop of the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Collaboration kicked-off the preparation of a timely experiment on the SPS to explore hidden portals of the Standard Model (SM).

The  mirrors for the NA62 RICH have been successfully coated in the Thin Film and Glass (TFG) lab and are now installed as the collaboration is preparing for the first physics run.
