A new year with new energy and new luminosities: 2012 holds the promise to close the question on the existence (or absence) of a Standard Model Higgs boson. Besides the obvious challenges posed by the LHC restart at a higher energy and a much…

As high-energy particle physics pushes exploration at energy and luminosity frontiers, experiments are becoming increasingly complex – and this, in turn, drives the need for developments in particle detectors and their associated technologies.…

The DT upgrade pages has been updated to include new links to many items such as meetings, documents, results and so on. See: https://cmsexperiment.web.cern.ch/org/dt-upgrades -- Cristina Fernández Bedoya

CMS has just recorded the first collisions with stable beams at a world-record collision energy of 8 TeV[1]. CMS took good quality data with all sub-detectors working well. The LHC fill lasted for 1h34min and the "pile-up" at the beginning of the…

On Monday, 12th March 2012, 16 high-school students from Annecy, France awoke with excitement; they knew it was not going to be an ordinary day! Although they live only 40 km away from CERN, the students had never visited the laboratory, and on this…

Please tell us how we can improve the new CMS internal website by clicking on this 1-minute web survey at: https://cern.ch/cms Please don't delay. We'll close the survey at the end of CMS Week and then start implementing missing features. If you…

Google+, the social network by Google, allows users to participate in Hangouts — multi-user video calls. These Hangouts can even be streamed live via a feature called Hangouts On Air. Barack Obama recently used such a Hangout to talk directly to the…

Joe Incandela — CMS Spokesperson Joe Incandela is a professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). His PhD under H. Frisch (Chicago) involved development and use of large area superconducting monopole detectors. His…

CMS, one of the two gigantic international collaborations running experiments at the LHC, has recently appointed its new management. The new spokesperson and his two deputies are well aware of the pressure associated with holding such high positions…

Dear CMS collaborator, The Technical Coordination team is organizing an evacuation exercise of the CMS underground caverns (USC55 and UXC55) on Friday the 3rd of February from 14:00. We would like to perform this exercise with the maximum number of…

On 10th January, a delegation from Serbia, led by President Boris Tadic, arrived at CERN to sign the agreement that would grant Serbia associate membership to CERN, as a step towards full membership. The agreement has to be ratified by the Serbian…
