I’ve been a postdoctoral researcher at MIT for three years, but I’ve spent almost all of that time in Geneva, Switzerland working with many other members of the PPC group in our bustling corridor of Building 32 on the CERN…
As summer comes to an end, last Friday we said goodbye to Joseph Sorel, an undergraduate summer student who joined us from Washington University in St. Louis. Joseph worked with the SUEP team on the WH channel, focusing his efforts…
CAVEAT: this post was embargoed for several weeks because it contains ‘the number’. Just before we could move to the DAQ section during the meeting Josh popped up this plots … glasses of champagne in his hands with Kenneth and…
On August 14, 2024 at 10am the Kolker room was well populated by experimental and theoretical physicists mostly. Tianyu Yang’s thesis was on the agenda for today and it was a wonderful presentation which also served as his thesis defense.…
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…
The Large Hadron Collider Physics (LHCP) is one of the largest conferences for high energy physics, hosted every year , focusing on results from CERN experiments. This yearly conference just had its 12th edition hosted here in Boston. Hundreds of…
In PPC’s recent uninterrupted series of visiting students, Yusuf Seday has been another unique, productive, and pleasant visitor. Hailing from Turkey, he joined KIT (no spelling mistake) and our dear colleague Markus Klute sent him over for a 3 month…
This year in Moriond, the commonly used and often misleading name for the Winter Conferences in the French/Italian Alps, Guillelmo had his first cross section measurement of the WW process at 13.6 GeV, from Run 3 data shown. The picture…
After the PAS was released in December, and in preparation for the real paper, a briefing describing the SUEP offline search has been made public on the CMS and is advertised by the CMSExperiment accounts on social media:
We are happy to announce the public release of the first dedicated search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) at the LHC. The search uses the 13 TeV pp collision data collected by the CMS detector in 2016-2018. This effort…
