The detection of longitudinally polarised W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is an important step towards understanding how the primordial electroweak symmetry broke, giving rise to the masses of elementary particles

Let’s give up the complexity rules (letters, symbols, numbers) and go for long passwords, i.e. “passphrases”, instead. Long but easy to remember

The Statement of Intent between CERN and Canada concerns future planning for large research infrastructure facilities, and novel and advanced techniques and tools
