    How CMS cleaned up 85’000’000’000’000’000 bytes without touching any original, raw data!

    CMS has recently conducted the largest deletion campaign in its history, deleting roughly 85 Petabytes (85’000’000’000’000’000 bytes) of data from the magnetic tapes, in order to free up space for the Run 3 collisions.

    Flavoured Mysteries: searching for the tau lepton’s 3 muon decay

    It was 1918 when the mathematician Emmy Noether published what is known as her most famous theorem, revealing the fundamental relation between the symmetries of a physical system and the laws enforcing the conservation of some of its characteristic quantities.
