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…
