CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the organisation that operates the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Lots of experiments take place at this laboratory.
Stick to the official title "European Organization for Nuclear Research" for CERN websites.
Use the acronym CERN in the singular:
CERN offers student work placements (not "CERN offer student work placements")
Upper case
no italics
Not Cerenkov. Though Cherenkov is a somewhat clumsy anglicisation of the original Russian, the "Ch" ensures unambiguous pronunciation.
Capital C. The "at" sign in the name can sometimes cause problems with Drupal text formats. To get around this, whenever Collide @ CERN appears in text, separate the @ from the text with spaces.
Collide @ CERN is a three-year artist’s residency programme at CERN.
The forceful striking together of two or more particles in an accelerator.
Define the type of collision using hyphens:
Lead-ion collisions are more complex and take longer to analyse than proton-proton collisions.
Use "collision" to refer to the exact point in time and space at which particles collide.
An "event" is a snapshot of what happens after a collision; an event is picked up by the detector: particles decay and their decay products form tracks or deposit energy in the detector.
Event displays from the detectors show the collision point in the middle – everything around it makes up the event.
Don't use it in web texts. Use seminar instead.
