Physics World Focus on Big Science 2014

This focus issue tackles some of the challenges in building upcoming “big science” facilities. We kick off by looking at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is set to restart next year following an upgrade and maintenance programme. Once back online, the LHC will be generating even more data than in its previous run – in fact, dealing with huge volumes of information is a problem for many upcoming facilities, as is training enough scientists to use them. The issue also examines how two neutrino experiments are set for a boost and looks at novel technologies for tackling dark energy and high-energy cosmic rays.
