  • New CMS detectors under construction at CERN

    While the LHC will play the starring role in the 2013/2014 Long Shutdown (LS1), the break will also be a chance for its experiments to upgrade their detectors.

    The search for microscopic black holes, as of March 2012

    The search for microscopic black holes at the LHC is motivated by the hierarchy problem — the huge observed difference between the strengths of the electroweak and gravitational forces.

  • Very Low Pile-up Run

    On request of the FSQ PAG a run with very low pile-up (PU = 0.037) was taken for minimum bias and underlying event studies.

  • Measurement of the underlying event in the Drell-Yan process in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

    Measurement of the underlying event in the Drell-Yan process in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

    A measurement of the underlying event (UE) activity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is performed using Drell-Yan events in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb−1 (inverse femtobarns), collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC.
