Yesterday at 7:46 pm the first stable beams of the LHC 2023 heavy-ion run have been recorded. The heavy-ion run allows CMS scientists to study states of matter similar to those of the early universe. During this period, the CERN accelerators operate…
The LHC has just delivered the first pPb (proton-lead) collisions with stable beams of 2013 and CMS is happily running with all sub-detectors on. We are also having common triggers with TOTEM and everything is behaving very well. Thanks a lot to all…
The new year brings a new type of collision at the LHC: the accelerator will smash protons and lead nuclei together, allowing CMS and the other LHC experiments to study the cold nuclear matter we expect these collisions to produce. Although we…
