CERN: A SUMMARY IN BRIEF

CERN, or the European Council for Nuclear Research, is a laboratory that studies the fundamental structure of particles and the composition of the universe. Here are some highlights about CERN:

• Location: CERN is located on the border of France and Switzerland, near Geneva.
• History: CERN was founded in 1954.
• Research: CERN's main area of research is particle physics, but its research program also includes nuclear and high-energy physics, antimatter, and the effects of cosmic rays.
• Instruments: CERN uses particle accelerators and detectors to study subatomic particles.
• Achievements: CERN has made many significant breakthroughs, including the discovery of neutral currents in 1973 and the discovery of W and Z bosons in 1983.
• World Wide Web: CERN played a key role in the development of the World Wide Web, with the world's first browser, editor, and website going live at CERN in 1990.
• Collaboration: CERN is an example of international collaboration, with about 2,500 employees from around the world.
• Convention: CERN's convention states that the organization's results must be published or made generally available, and that it has no concern with military requirements.    CERN's main function is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research – consequently, numerous experiments have been constructed at CERN through international collaborations.
