I came across this interesting visualisation of the current US debt, and I think something similar could be used by CMS to show the amount of data collected and analysed over time, rather than just a graph. It could also work very well with Tom's…

Came across this excellent infographic and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you: http://blogs.cisco.com/news/the-internet-of-things-infographic/

Piazza is an online forum for ask and answer questions. Users ask a question that is then answered by other users and/or identified experts. There is only one space for each answer and answers are edited wiki-style, with versioning - so the forum…

Building 40 at CERN is going to change its appearance. A beautiful 1:1 maxi-poster of CMS is being installed in the central hall. To celebrate the completion of this installation we would like to invite you to a short drink this coming Friday from…

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…

We are living in perhaps the most exciting times of the past few decades in High Energy Physics: searching for the Higgs boson, as well as expected and unexpected new physics with one of the most elaborate accelerators ever built, and with complex…
