This year, Anaheim, CA, was home of the famous APS April Meeting, this time held in conjunction with with the APS March Meeting (for better or for worse…). PPC presence was strong: undergraduate Nate Martinez presented his work studying and…
April 14, 2025 was the day when we had the first proton beams of 2025 through the LHC and leaving some recordable beam splashes! Oh, yeah … LHC and CMS are ready! A beam splash simply means that protons crash…
A muon, the heavier counterpart of the electron, serves as one of the clearest signatures of various unique and interesting processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Due to its small interaction cross-section with ordinary matter, a muon can pass…
… goes to the LHC experimental collaborations among which of course CMS. The website announces The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics is awarded co-authors of publications based on CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Run-2 data released between 2015 and July…
Following the discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider, extensive studies have confirmed its central role in the spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry in…
The first CMS week of 2025 took place during the first part of February, Monday 10th to Friday 14th. It was a rather busy week with a full agenda including a large number of plenary and parallel sessions. CMS is preparing the 2025…
In 2024, CMS collected around 50 PB of raw data and generated more than 75 PB of simulated data. Together with prompt processing, this amounts to more than 150 PB of new data. Using such an enormous amount of data…
In the world of particle physics, every discovery -or lack thereof- can make waves. Recently, the CMS collaboration has published the first diboson paper in the Physics Letters B journal using the LHC Run 3 data, specifically the production of…
Visiting MIT for the fall semester, Cecilia concluded her experience here on the week of Thanksgiving. She will return to her home institution of CIEMAT to begin work on her thesis after 3 months of great physics and memorable experiences.…
Today, November 23, 2024, the LHC crew at CERN completed the running of the Large Hadron Collider for 2024, which was the tenth year and resulted in a record data accumulation. The beginning of 2024 went picture book perfect: when…
