Visitors to P5 now have a series of seven posters of beautiful 3D drawings of the CMS detector to look at before they go underground to the CMS cavern.
This series of the drawings is called “ZOOOM”.

The magnet worked properly until it suffered two unexpected stops in August due to technical problems on the service infrastructure.
During the June Technical Stop, the CMS magnet was ramped down to zero tesla in order to allow a preventive…
