Steering the ship of member states – CERN Courier
WEB5 days ago · Untangling strings A professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Eliezer Rabinovici’s research focuses on the phase structure of gauge theories, string theory and quantum gravity. He has served as an Israeli delegate to the CERN Council since 2004, as vice president from 2016 to 2018, and as president since 2022, with his three-year term set to conclude in December.
Magazine - CERN Courier
WEBWelcome to the latest issue of CERN Courier. CERN is turning 70 at a pivotal moment for high-energy physics. As the third update to the European strategy for particle physics gets underway, the Courier hands the pen to early-career researchers to sketch their vision for the future of the field.CERN’s birthday is also a moment to reflect on the lab’s scientific and societal impact.
ALICE does the double slit – CERN Courier
WEB5 days ago · Lead–ion slits The photoproduction of ρ 0 mesons in the proximity of one of two colliding lead ions – which cannot be known – generates an interference pattern akin to that of a double-slit interferometer. Credit: CERN In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light hits two narrow slits.
