Please tell us how we can improve the new CMS internal website by clicking on this 1-minute web survey at: https://cern.ch/cms Please don't delay. We'll close the survey at the end of CMS Week and then start implementing missing features. If you…

At a CERN seminar today, CMS presented results for the search for new physics in the decay of Bs and B0 mesons to two muons, taking into account all of the 4.9 fb−1 of data collected in 2011. The results — upper limits of 7.7 x 10−9 (Bs) and 1.8 x…

Google+, the social network by Google, allows users to participate in Hangouts — multi-user video calls. These Hangouts can even be streamed live via a feature called Hangouts On Air. Barack Obama recently used such a Hangout to talk directly to the…

Joe Incandela — CMS Spokesperson Joe Incandela is a professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). His PhD under H. Frisch (Chicago) involved development and use of large area superconducting monopole detectors. His…

CMS, one of the two gigantic international collaborations running experiments at the LHC, has recently appointed its new management. The new spokesperson and his two deputies are well aware of the pressure associated with holding such high positions…

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will increase the energies of the bunches of subatomic particles called protons that it smashes together.

Today, operators of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator announced their plan for the 2012 run. The new schedule calls for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located near Geneva, Switzerland, to run at a collision energy of 8 tera-electron…

This week the CMS collaboration will publish the results of its search for the Higgs boson that were presented at CERN in December 2011 [1]. Nine papers will be submitted for publication using the entire data sample of proton-proton collisions…

CMS is organizing a Workshop entitled Perspectives on Physics and on CMS at Very High Luminosity, HL-LHC which will take place in the Ukrainian city of Alushta in the Crimea, 28-31 May, 2012. JINR (Dubna) will serve as a host. Alushta is a scenic…

Dear CMS collaborator, The Technical Coordination team is organizing an evacuation exercise of the CMS underground caverns (USC55 and UXC55) on Friday the 3rd of February from 14:00. We would like to perform this exercise with the maximum number of…

“If you remember, Mark Twain once said, ‘There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.’ If you use statistics in an improper way, you could get pretty much any result,” says Greg Landsberg, CMS’s new physics coordinator. “The…
