Antimatter in CMS
Spot the difference So how did the universe evolve into this very asymmetric state, dominated by matter, if the underlying forces can barely tell the difference between the two?

What and where is Antimatter?
Antimatter detectives The antimatter is missing – not from CERN, but from the Universe!

Heavy Ions in CMS
Probing the Plasma Lead nuclei consist of large numbers of protons and neutrons, both made up of quarks.

How did Matter form?
Colliding heavy nuclei Clues to the early Universe The Universe has changed a great deal in the 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang, but the basic building blocks of everything from microbes to galaxies were signed, sealed and delivered in the first few millionths of a second.

Detecting extra dimensions
Superstring theory is elegant but speculative and throws up a number of possible experimental outcomes, some more likely than others.

Do we really live in only three dimensions?
String theory and extra dimensions Loose ends Will the string tie the Standard package?

Detecting Dark Matter
Evidence from the depths of the Universe has ruled out a number of models for what the mysterious dark matter might be, but one candidate that fits so far is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) otherwise known as the “neutralino”, the lightest of a whole range of new particles suggested by a theory called supersymmetry.

LHC energy boost will aid hunt for Higgs boson
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will increase the energies of the bunches of subatomic particles called protons that it smashes together.
