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…
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. 500 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:…
As we here from internal source: a joint Statement of Intent between Canada and CERN was signed, similar to the one that was signed with the US at the White House about a year ago. The CERN Council was informed…
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…
If you have not yet noticed, Particle Physics is going through a very critical period. The energy frontier—also known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—has reached its midpoint after it started in 2009 and is expected to finish sometimes in…
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.…
