Having two independently designed detectors is vital for cross-confirmation of any new discoveries made. <a href="/science/experiments/alice">ALICE</a> and <a href="/science/experiments/lhcb">LHCb</a> have detectors specialised for focussing on specific phenomena.

TOTEM uses detectors positioned on either side of the CMS interaction point, while LHCf is made up of two detectors which sit along the LHC beamline, at 140 metres either side of the ATLAS collision point. <a href="/science/experiments/moedal">MoEDAL-MAPP</a> uses detectors deployed near LHCb to search for a hypothetical particle called the magnetic monopole. <a

In 1958, an experiment at the <a href="/science/accelerators/synchrocyclotron">Synchrocyclotron</a> discovered a rare pion decay that spread CERN’s name around the world. Then in 1973, the <a href="/science/experiments/gargamelle">Gargamelle</a> bubble chamber presented first direct evidence of the weak neutral current. Ten years later, CERN physicists working on the <a href="/science/experiments/ua1">UA1</a> and <a href="/science/experiments/ua2">UA2</a> detectors announced the discovery of the <a href="/science/physics/w-boson-sunshine-and-stardust">W boson</a> in <a href="https://home.cern/news/news/physics/carrying-weak-force-thirty-years-w-boson">January</a> and <a href="/science/physics/z-boson">Z boson</a> in <a href="/news/news/physics/thirty-years-z-boson">June</a> – the two carriers of the electroweak force. Two key scientists behind the discoveries – <a href="/about/who-we-are/our-people/biographies/carlo-rubbia-b1934">Carlo Rubbia</a> and <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1984/meer/facts/">Simon van der Meer</a> – received the <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1984/">Nobel prize in physics</a> in 1984.</p> <p>From 1989, the <a href="/science/accelerators/large-electron-positron-collider">Large Electron-Positron collider</a> (LEP) enabled the <a href="/science/experiments/aleph">ALEPH</a>, <a href="/science/experiments/delphi">DELPHI</a>, <a href="/science/experiments/l3">L3</a> and <a href="/science/experiments/opal">OPAL</a> experiments to put the <a href="/science/physics/standard-model">Standard Model</a> of particle physics on a strong experimental basis.
