In 2017, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) achieved a groundbreaking milestone in instantaneous luminosity, delivering data at twice the rate it was originally designed for. This presented a new challenge for the CMS detector: efficiently selecting and retaining significant events…
At the end of March (18-22), CMS held a major internal workshop (Computing and Offline Week) dedicated to issues related to data processing, distribution, and analysis. This workshop occurs twice a year and brings together experts from various laboratories, computing…
Run 2 results attracted significant interest in heavy flavor physics at the LHC. The highlights of these findings include a 3-sigma discrepancy in the decay rate of the B meson into charm mesons with either a muon or a tau,…
Some people seem to be puzzled by the update of the R(K) and R(K*) measurements presented today by the LHCb collaboration. Renato Quagliani made a great presentation explaining it all, but in case you missed it, I asked ChatGPT for…
