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…
When the summer turns really hot and it is late July in Geneva there is usually a notable slow down. August is coming and everybody knows this is the time when people take their vacation, they go to the seaside…
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 Annual High Throughput Computing workshop took place in Madison, Wisconsin from July 8 till July 12. The conference itself had a session which provided the US CMS Computing and Software organization an opportunity to hold its annual all hands…
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…
Summer at CERN is special with the PPC. We usually have a flock of undergraduate students going to CERN to perform research with our group. The students are mostly funded through the MISTI and the IROP (international UROP) programs and…
USCMS meetings are held yearly in the US rotating in some semi random way between the different US institutions that are involved in the CMS experiment. The most important factor is of course the willingness of the local group or…
The CMS collaboration has just submitted the paper of diboson production, WW, at 13.6 TeV, which is from Run 3 data. No new physics discovered, and the standard model still holds. The original analysis was first presented end of March,…
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…
