The birth of the Web | CERN
WEBIn 2013, CERN launched a project to restore this first ever website: info.cern.ch. On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. Later, CERN made a release available with an open licence, a more sure way to maximise its dissemination. These actions allowed the web to flourish.
The Standard Model - CERN
WEBThe Standard Model. The Standard Model explains how the basic building blocks of matter interact, governed by four fundamental forces. The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists since the 1930s have resulted in a remarkable insight into the fundamental structure of matter: everything in the universe is found to be made from a few ...

The Higgs boson - CERN
WEBOn 4 July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations announced the discovery of a new particle to a packed auditorium at CERN. This particle had no electrical charge, it was short-lived and it decayed in ways that the Higgs boson should, according to theory. To confirm if it really was the Higgs boson, physicists needed to check its “spin ...

WEB2 days ago · CMS experiment at CERN weighs in on the W boson mass. The eagerly awaited result is the most precise measurement of the W mass made at the LHC so far, and is in line with the prediction from the Standard Model of particle physics. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most …
Subatomic particles - CERN
WEBQuarks and electrons are some of the elementary particles we study at CERN and in other laboratories. But physicists have found more of these elementary particles in various experiments, so many in fact that researchers needed to organize them, just like Mendeleev did with his periodic table. This is summarised in a concise theoretical model ...
