[CMS Stories] Working from home for the largest particle collider in the world!
From a town known as Almora in the foothills of the Himalayas, where I grew up, to a particle physics laboratory in Geneva near the Alps, my journey to becoming an experimental particle physicist has been fascinating.

The Forward Shielding upgrade: a real engineering challenge for CMS.
As for any other instrument, the CMS experiment needs a “quiet” environment to take data, with the lowest level of background noise.

Getting excited about quarks
Physicists continue to question if the particles we know of are the most fundamental.

How does the Higgs boson interact with itself?
Studying the production of two Higgs bosons is the most obvious way to understand the field responsible for the Higgs boson. A new result by the CMS collaboration gets closer than ever to measuring this field and its physics prediction.
