[Welcome to r/CERN](#icon-star)

Did you come across an article or a news item about CERN? Or do you have a specific question about the lab? The goal of this forum is to discuss CERN and its many experiments, including those of the LHC.

Please keep this sub CERN-specific and discussion civil. For questions about particle physics in general, please visit r/ParticlePhysics, r/AskScience or r/AskPhysics. For more technical aspects of the LHC, there is r/LHC.
