Brand new Data Acquisition and Trigger systems for RUN3
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is gradually restarting and in the summer bunches of protons will collide again at high energy, marking the start of Run 3. Is CMS ready to manage the big amount of new data?

Pay attention: CMS magnet powered ON!
Running toward the start of Run3 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS experiment completed one of its last and crucial steps: the big solenoid magnet has been powered on to reach the nominal magnetic field of 3.8T on March 4th 2022. Hidden inside the CMS detector, the solenoid magnet looks like a cylinder…

Real time analysis with the CMS Level-1 Trigger
The challenge of Run3: CMS is preparing to resume its operations for the Run-3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after a 3-year long shutdown called LS2 (2019-2021).

Cosmic Rays, splashes and test collisions: CMS has seen them all!
As the end of Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) is getting closer, CERN along with the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is preparing to welcome the most awaited Run 3 next year.

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.

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.
