CERN

The $3 million prize recognizes three generations of experiments at CERN, Brookhaven, and Fermilab that measured the muon's magnetic moment to 127 parts per billion, sharpening a long-standing test of the Standard Model.

Back-to-back results at Moriond 2026 confirm the most massive bound state ever observed and resolve a two-decade search for the doubly charmed baryon.

The BASE experiment at CERN successfully moved 92 antiprotons in a portable cryogenic trap across the laboratory's campus, demonstrating that antimatter can survive road transport and paving the way for precision measurements at facilities across Europe.

The CMS Collaboration at CERN has detected wakes left by quarks speeding through quark-gluon plasma, providing the first direct evidence that the matter filling the universe in its first microseconds behaved as a nearly perfect liquid rather than a gas of free particles.
