In July of last year we successfully inserted the pixel detector inside CMS and successfully integrated and operated it with the rest of the CMS detector during the CRAFT run. Despite the excellent detector performance some problems arose after…

The last two weeks the Forward Pixels (FPIX) detectors were both reinstalled and successfully tested. This activity was very much interleaved with the re-alignment of the central beam pipe. Both activities took place in a fragile and confined…

Loic Quertenmont has produced a lot of very nice pictures of events in the 3.8T field. Enjoy the slideshow too...

March CERN Courier has a centre spread article on the Tracker with a cover picture.

  The CMS experiment achieves the most precise determination of the strength of the strong nuclear force using the rates of production of jets at several centre-of-mass energies. The strengths of the fundamental interactions in Nature drive the…

  For the first time, the CMS experiment has employed physics-informed machine learning to observe whether the laws of physics still hold true when top quarks and Z bosons are replaced with their antiparticles and space is reflected. We know…
