Today, the CERN Council selected British physicist Mark Thomson as the Organization’s next Director-General. The appointment ...

He spent a significant part of career at CERN working on precise measurements of the W and Z boson in the 1990s as part of the OPAL experiment at CERN’s Large Electron-Positron Collider. In 2000 he ...

Any antiprotons passing close enough to heavy atomic nuclei could create an electron-positron pair; in a tiny fraction of cases ... making it even easier to produce antihydrogen in large quantities.

The particle was discovered in 2013 using the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII), with independent observation by the Belle experiment at Japan’s KEK particle physics ...

Abstract: In the proposed Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), the silicon pixel vertex detector demands high spatial resolution, low power consumption and minimal material budget, posing ...

and also promoted the construction of other large scientific facilities in the country." The Beijing Electron-Positron Collider served dual purposes, and based on it, the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation ...

The CAS currently has over 30 large scientific facilities in operation or under construction, including specialized research facilities for specific scientific and technological goals in certain ...

China's construction of large scientific facilities can be traced back to the late 1970s with the building of the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider. To advance high-energy physics, in 1972, 18 ...

— 1988: Beijing Electron Positron Collider, China's first high-energy accelerator. — 2001: ShenGuang-II Laser Facility, one of the few high-energy fusion lasers internationally. — 2007: Experimental ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the highest energy collider ever built. The tunnel, 3.8m wide with a circumference of 26.7km, was excavated in 1983-1988 to house the electron-positron collider LEP.

Behind the march to higher SRF-cavity performance is the TESLA Technology Collaboration (p35), which was established in 1990 to advance technology for a linear electron–positron collider. Though the ...
