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…
My recent visit to CERN would have been sufficiently motivated by the CMS week, but I was not sure whether I should go because it was in the middle of the semester and I do not like to leave the…
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…
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…
First splash events recorded in CMS on last Friday (March 8, 2024) made it more than obvious that the LHC team has brought back beams into the collider. Its BeamTime as they say at CERN and thus LHC finished the…
