Studying beautiful flavour transitions ✨

CMS Experiment at CERN and LHCb Experiment at CERN researchers have released their latest results on the rare transformation of a beauty quark into a strange quark and two muons.

The illustration shows the transformation of a bottom quark into a strange quark, a muon and an antimuon (b→sμ+μ-) via the weak interaction.

“Good software is often invisible” 💻

On 14 July, the creator of c++, Bjarne Stroustrup, filled CERN’s Main Auditorium for his seminar 21st Century C++, part of the first CERN STEAM Academy.

In this packed seminar, Bjarne Stroustrup explored how safer, simpler and more efficient programming can help prepare scientific software for the computing challenges ahead.

Particle collisions – episode 1 💫

When the Large Hadron Collider ( ) is on, millions of times every second protons collide inside it.

What happens after a particle collision takes place?
Why do we need so many collisions? What can they tell us?

In this three-part series, named “Particle collisions”, we address all these questions, and much more.

Can you guess what’s happening here? 🧐
Hint: these images show different parts of the transformation.

Here we see dismantling activities at Point 1 of the Large Hadron Collider ( ), carried out in preparation for the future accelerator, the .

CERN’s accelerator complex and experiments are currently undergoing a four-year intensive work period to transform the LHC into the , a groundbreaking accelerator set to pave the way for a new era for high-energy physics.

The images show technicians working in the LHC tunnel, as components are being dismantled to make way for the new equipment:

1️⃣–2️⃣: Technicians disconnecting electrical wiring.

3️⃣–4️⃣: Dismantling activities in the tunnel.

5️⃣–6️⃣: Cryogenic interconnections being cut and removed.

7️⃣–8️⃣: Technicians cutting inner triplet interconnections.

Happy birthday ! 🎉

Today, our science centre for communication and outreach turns three years old.

This takes us back to October 2023, when Science Gateway was open to the public for the first time.

Here, visitors from ages five and up can take part in public events, science shows, hands-on experiments and visiting exhibitions.

: Science Gateway has welcomed more than 1 million visitors from around the world since opening its doors three years ago.
