CERN in the media from 20/04/2026 to 26/04/2026

Published on May 4, 2026

Please find below the media monitoring report for the period 20–26 April 2026. These press cuttings have been selected from the 1625 results identified by our media monitoring system.

This week’s coverage opened with articles featuring CERN’s leadership. A piece featuring Mark Thomson was published by Bloomberg, while an article in Sciences et Avenir provided an overview of the FCC and the future of physics.

Media also highlighted the start of powering for the HiLumi IT String — a major milestone towards an increase in collision rates. International media also echoed the LHCb study of B meson decay anomalies that challenge the Standard Model, while other relevant news pieces included the theoretical study on detecting neutrino trident scattering with SND@LHC and the proposed SHiP experiment.

Other mentions included an article about the Science Gateway, highlighting the centre’s sustainable design, its use of solar panels and natural ventilation, and its role as a “bridge” between science and the public.
