In the last two weeks the approvals activity continued to increase heading to QM2014 and LHCP conferences.
In the searches area we had the review of one of the first analysis using b tagging in boosted topologies. B2G-14-002 presents a search for…
On May 4th the RPC subproject successfully completed the installation of the RE4 upgrade detector.
The first disk was installed in December 2013, while the installation of the second disk (fig. 1) was scheduled in two time windows; the first, about…
CMS news from the past two weeks:
AGR data analysis jamboree
Update from Physics Coordination (May 02)
Reminder of upcoming CMS events:
- Upgrade Technical Proposal Studies Group workshop: May 8-9 (LPC at FNAL)
- Upgrade Muon mini-workshop: May 19…
The April Global Run (AGR), the first commissioning run in 2014, took place 7-11 April. After a couple of weeks of chewing on the data (and the Easter holidays), a “Data Analysis Jamboree” was held on 29 April (https://indico.cern.ch/event/315825…
Since the Easter break the activity in the Physics Coordination area has steadily increased on fronts.
The approaching of Summer Conferences is reflected in an increased rate of approvals.
The Heavy Ion group has started its analysis campaign for…
CMS news from the past two weeks:
The AGR (April Global Run)
Update from Physics Coordination (Apr 16)
Installation and commissioning of the ME4/2 Cathode Strip Chamber
Preshower ready for installation
En route to 2015: TSG workshop (Apr 7-9)…
Since March this year new layers of Muon chambers have been added to CMS on both YE3 endcap disks. Two additional rings of 36+36 Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC), which complete the forward η coverage of muon station 4 (so-called ME4/2) in the region 1.…
We have had three important events on the “Higgs front” in the past few days:
⁃ Our H→ττ paper (HIG-13-004) is now accepted for publication by JHEP
⁃ The last of the “legacy” analyses, H→γγ, has now entered CWR and is heading towards publication, in…
The 2025 Young Experimental Physicist Prize is awarded jointly to Thea Klæboe Årrestad (CMS) and Laura Zani for their remarkable and complementary contributions to experimental particle physics. The prize has been awarded by the High Energy and…
On Saturday 5th April Patty McBride, former CMS Spokesperson, received the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on behalf of the CMS Collaboration. This was a joint award, along with ATLAS, LHCb and ALICE. It was presented to the…
2024 was an impressive year: the most data ever collected by CMS, many important results including two landmark results (W boson mass and top entanglement), milestone for the upcoming Hi-Lumi CMS detector reached, and ever more innovations pushing…
Welcome to our look back at 2024 - and what a year it has been!
After last winter’s planned technical stop of the LHC, everything started back up again so that CMS could continue collecting data for the LHC’s Run 3. We published a piece about how we…
