At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments.

CERN’s accelerators show very good availability rates: beams are in place
Upgrades and repairs of the HIE-ISOLDE linear accelerator will enable experiments to delve deeper than ever into the physics of radioactive isotopes
An experiment performed at CERN’s ISOLDE facility shows that the nucleus of the isotope radium-222 is pear-shaped
Knowledge of this almost uncharted region could help cast light on how gold and other heavy elements form in the universe
The first result to emerge from the HIE-ISOLDE accelerator is the confirmation that the tin-132 nucleus belongs to the doubly magic group of nuclei
The HIE-ISOLDE project is on its way to providing radioactive nuclei at higher energies than before
50 years ago, the first radioactive beam at ISOLDE was produced
In the fourth part of our series, celebrating 50 years of physics at ISOLDE, we look at the almost-complete HIE-ISOLDE upgrade
The first African-led experiment has taken place at CERN
After installing the third of four cryomodules, the HIE-ISOLDE facility began its 2017 physics run expecting great results
