Demonstrating the capabilities of a new GEM
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been providing particle collisions at larger and larger luminosities over the years, thanks to a series of upgrades.

What’s a splash event?
We have been seeing the major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN showing colorful images of splash events this week.

Does the behaviour of the Higgs boson match the expectations?
The standard model of particle physics is our current best theory to describe the most basic building blocks of the universe, the elementary particles, and the interactions among them.

[CMS Stories] My journey to CMS at CERN
In 10th grade, Monsieur Clenet, my high school physics teacher at Lycée Français de Montevideo gave me the task of presenting a recent physics breakthrough: the discovery of the Higgs Boson.

LHC as the vector boson collider
After the Higgs boson discovery in the year 2012, the standard model of particle physics offers a complete and consistent description of elementary particle interactions that, despite the many attempts, has not been falsified by experimental evidence to date. Nevertheless, several hints indicate that a new more comprehensive theory that includes and extends it may…

A Summer Of Cosmic Rays for CMS
The focus of Run Coordination during Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) is to organize regular detector-commissioning periods which help to closely monitor the advance of maintenance and upgrade activities, to smooth interactions between subsystems.
