From signals to data
The CMS experiment uses advanced computing technology to read, sort and process
the raw signals into physics data.
Storing and transferring data
CMS data is spread across the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, a network of computing centres that allow researchers to store, access,
and analyse data from around the world.
Expectations vs. Reality
CMS simulates billions of collisions to understand how physics processes should appear inside the detector. This allows us to search for discrepancies between predictions and reality.
Smarter science, sharper discoveries
We develop new AI tools that help our scientists filter collisions, reconstruct events, remove background, and analyse data.
