HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS:
CERN Panel Calls for Cuts and Shake-Ups
Giselle Weiss
GENEVA--It's official: CERN must slash other research projects in order to finish the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). That's the conclusion of a group tasked with reviewing the $2 billion megaproject, under construction here at the European laboratory for particle physics, in the wake of cost overruns disclosed last fall. And non-LHC projects might not be the only sacrificial lambs: CERN is coming under pressure to shake up its senior management.
