As part of continual efforts to ensure the highest standards of radiation protection, CERN is modernizing its operational dosimetry system
A new safety system will bring the standard of personnel radiation protection at the PS into line with that of the LHC
As the first and last proton-lead run of 2013 draws to a close, the maintenance programme of the LHC's first long shutdown (LS1) is about to start
As the first and last proton-lead run of 2013 draws to a close, the extensive maintenance programme of the LHC's first long shutdown is about to start
Proton-ion operation has become routine for the LHC operation crew with all seven LHC experiments simultaneously taking data for first time
A study published in collaboration with ISOLDE-CERN confirms that certain terbium isotopes are effective in diagnosing and treating tumours
A new ion trap has been integrated into ISOLTRAP, the ISOLDE experiment that measures the mass of short-lived nuclides
Servers from CERN's computer centre are sent to Serbia where they will be re-used by students and researchers
