CMS Muon Cathode Strip Chambers’ trip for new electronics
As part of the LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) activities at CMS, the CMS Muon Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) subsystem is having its electronics upgraded in the chambers closest to the beam line.

The start of something new
The CMS Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) subsystem will form an extra layer of detectors, along with the Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) layers, closest to the beam.

Resistive Plate Chambers are getting dolled up
After the LHC was shut down in December 2018 following the successful completion of RUN 2 operation, CMS is undergoing an intensive upgrade and maintenance program during the current two-year break (“Long Shutdown 2” or LS2) in order to ensure an excellent performance of the detector in the subsequent physics program.

CMS tightens its net around muons
During LS2, CMS will install 144 additional muon detector modules specially designed to detect particles produced in the very forward region.

LHC beam pipe to be mined for monopoles
In February, the CMS and MoEDAL collaborations at CERN signed an agreement to hand over to MoEDAL a section of the LHC beam pipe that was located inside CMS between 2008 and 2013. The delicate object, 6 metres long and made of beryllium, will now be sliced and fed into a highly precise magnetic sensors…

CMS beam pipe replacement has started
The CMS detector is built from several different layers, surrounding the beam pipe in which the LHC beams collide.

Long shutdown 2 at CMS in full swing: Pixel detector extraction
After the LHC was shut down at the end of 2018, one might think that physicists working in the large experiments can sit back and relax.

CMS enters a busy period of detector upgrades
A successful four years of CMS detector operation came to an end last week and now we are beginning a new chapter.
