The easy part is over ­ experimental cosmology has now reached adulthood. That was the message that emerged from a workshop on cosmology and particle physics held at CERN this summer.

In the summer of 1973, an experiment at the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN discovered a new physics effect. Gordon Fraser looks back at how confirmation of the existence of neutral currents ushere.

Inspired by high-dimensional data and the ideals of open science, high-energy physicists are using artificial intelligence to reimagine the statistical technique of ‘unfolding’. Open-science unfolding ...
