Reconstructing a multitude of particle tracks within CMS
The LHC circulates protons inside its beam-pipes not in a continuous stream but in several very closely packed bunches.

2011 proton collisions come to an end
At about half-past five in the evening on Sunday, 30th October, an e-mail from Run Coordination to the CMS collaboration said: At 17:00 today the LHC dumped the last proton beams for the year to start the machine development period and to prepare for the ion running.

How does CMS measure Luminosity?
The number of events that an experiment observes is proportional to a quantity called the luminosity — a measure of how many collisions are occurring in the detector.
