Greetings! Thank you for the wonderful feedback we received on the inaugural issue of the CB Newsletter. Here is the second newsletter. We aim to publish an issue of the newsletter just prior to each CB meeting, and again approximately at the mid…

The Special Milner Fundamental Physics Prize is being awarded this week in recognition of the success of the international LHC Project, including the major contributions of the entire CMS collaboration, for the discovery of a Higgs boson as…

Dear Colleagues, The CMS Collaboration Board Career committee was established by the CB to provide resources needed by the members of CMS to further their careers. We would like to announce a panel discussion during the April CMS week, entitled "How…

In the early hours of 14 February 2013, the first period of running for the Large Hadron Collider came to an end. After three very fruitful years of collisions at the LHC, the blank screens of LHC Page 1 seem very odd. “End of Run 1. No beam for a…

Professor Englert, who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics along with Professor Peter Higgs, was at CERN to give a colloquium on "The BEH mechanism and its scalar bosons". Following his talk, he paid a visit to the CMS underground experimental…

On Saturday at 8.25am the shift crew in the CERN Control Centre extracted the beams from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), bringing the machine’s first three-year running period to a successful conclusion. The following message marked the event on…

From the desk of the CB Chairperson Dear friends, The CMS Collaboration Board (CB) is pleased to present the inaugural issue of the CB newsletter. The CB is the parliament of CMS, and is at the heart of our wonderful experiment. The CB is best known…

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…

Dear CMS members, The CMS CB career committee hopes you all had a restful vacation and will have a great new year! The CMS CB established the career committee (https://cmsexperiment.web.cern.ch/org/career-committee) to help our members advance their…

Collaborations of high-energy physicists often number in the thousands, and this presents some unique challenges. “CMS is a big collaboration, with 3,000 people from diverse backgrounds, speaking different languages,” says Sudhir Malik, co-convener…

Dear Colleagues, During its meeting in Lisbon, the CMS Collaboration Board endorsed the composition of the CMS Career Committee. Its members represent a wide range of CMS regions and stages in a typical career. The composition is balanced in gender…

After three years of very successful operation that led to the discovery of a new boson in 2012, the LHC is scheduled for a series of upgrades that will enhance the experimental potential to study the nature of the new particle, and to extend the…
