Abstract

CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, has been in the news again over the past few months for two quite different reasons. Just after Christmas, it was announced that antihydrogen – an antiatom made from a positron and an antiproton – had been discovered in an experiment at the laboratory in Geneva (Physics World February p5). At about the same time rather more familiar stories appeared about the problems caused to the UK science budget by yet another rise in the sterling cost of the CERN subscription.
