Identification of muons is essential for the physics done at the LHC. CMS has recently published a paper with new techniques to identify muons with high momentum. What is so special about muons with high momentum that they deserve a dedicated paper…
During LS2, CMS will install 144 additional muon detector modules specially designed to detect particles produced in the very forward region.
For the CMS experiment, Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) is like very prolonged open heart surgery. The…
The source of energy for most of the life on our planet originates from proton-proton collisions at the core of the Sun, which occur at an energy (or temperature) about a billion times less than the collision energy of the LHC. Due to emission of…
Grab a can of soda, shake it thoroughly, and open it up. What do you get? It’s an explosion of fizz. A similar phenomenon in the subatomic world might help us probe the nature of fundamental particles.
Scientists have spent centuries searching for…
