CMS is now running with 1236 bunches of protons !

This year's LHC physics run started in March. Since then the machine has broken many records, bringing its luminosity — the number of proton-proton collisions per second — to much higher levels than expected for this year. CMS now can take as much…

Christophe Delaere, from the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium, has been with CMS for five years. Christophe works on the Tracker, the sub-detector that traces the path of charged particles that are formed in collisions at the LHC. Watch…

Record fill for CMS: recorded 35.5 pb-1 ("inverse picobarns") of collisions - almost as much as we recorded in the whole of 2010!

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment, designed to study dark matter and anti-matter from the International Space Station, launched successfully aboard the Endeavour shuttle from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on 16th May, 2011…
