The CMS Young Researchers Prize dates back to 2012, when seven scientists from the CMS and ATLAS collaborations, as well as from the LHC project, were recognised by the Fundamental Physics Prize Foundation for their leadership role in the discovery…
As part of the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) activities at CMS, the CMS Muon Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) subsystem is having its electronics upgraded in the chambers closest to the beam line. This is done in anticipation of challenges it will face when…
Every year the CMS Thesis Award Committee recognizes and rewards excellence in the CMS PhD student research. As highlighted by Andrea Giammanco, the Award Committee Chair, “The quality of theses submitted for this award is increasing year…
Gas electron multipliers (GEMs) are a new addition to the CMS muon system. They complement existing detectors in the forward regions close to the beampipe, where large radiation doses and high event rates will increase during Phase-2 of the LHC.…
Dear friends, we hope that you all had a good start to 2014. We would like to share with you the selection of some stories from the end of last year: http://cmsexperiment.web.cern.ch/newsletter/201312
- New layer to be added to CMS muon system

Dear friends, welcome to the first edition of the new CMS monthly newsletter. We would like to thank all collaborators who contributed to the CMS Times, published between 2006 – 2012. It served well in providing information during the…
Each CMS crystal is unique even though they are all made from the same material. Its physical characteristics therefore needed to be measured and recorded, not only for the construction phase but also for data collecting itself. Every crystal was…
The Higgs boson is a particle associated with the electroweak-symmetry breaking mechanism that was proposed in the 1960s and is a vital component of the Standard Model of particle physics. It is believed that all fundamental particles in the known…
CMS performs searches for new particles by looking for signals amidst a background of known physics. If the data begin to indicate something more interesting than merely background - for instance, more decay events than expected in a certain…
Learner Objectives for Masterclass
These are educational goals for students participating in the masterclass.
Describe/show how conservation laws, behavior of particles in a magnetic field and energy-mass conversion apply to particle physics.…
If you are a student, please show this page to your teacher, and he/she would need to register your class/group.
If you are a teacher and you would like to organise a masterclass for your students/teachers, please follow the steps:
