LHCb observes a new decay mode of the charmed beauty meson, with implications for future searches for rare beauty meson decays and for the interpretation of results from the Fermilab g-2 experiment: https://home.cern/news/news/physics/lhcb-observes-new-decay-mode-charmed-beauty-meson
Scientists are testing a new device to help target cancer cells more accurately in ion radiotherapy of head and neck tumours, which could help limit the treatment’s side effects. It includes Timepix3, a small particle detector developed at CERN: https://home.cern/news/news/knowledge-sharing/small-version-cern-detector-could-help-deliver-more-precise
