… 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…
Today, April 8 at 12:09pm the issue with the number 5000 has been created in our project management tool called Cleo (Clever Organizer), a local redmine installation. The issue No. 5000 is a fairly standard ticket a new user asking…
The Feasibility Study of the Future Circular Collider at CERN, a major milestone in the largest fundamental science project ever in planning, has been completed on schedule on March 31, 2025. The report has resulted in three volumes: Volume 1:…
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…
Since I started my career in High Energy Physics I know about the ‘Chamonix Meeting’ where originally the LEP accelerator people got together with the LEP collaborations to plan the year ahead. The meetings seem to have started in 1991.…
Every January, I head from Geneva (CERN) to Boston for a couple of weeks to work with students on Future Circular Collider (FCC) Physics analysis projects at MIT. It’s something I look forward to every year, and this time was…
David is our new SubMIT project leader after Josh Bendavid’s departure on to his permanent CERN position and today he has passed the first very important challenge: he installed his first ever Linux server and his main helper was Pietro,…
It is the third year we are making January a very busy month for undergraduate students here at MIT and at other places to learn and contribute to the planned FCC project. What started in Fall 2022 as a vague…
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.…
