Shielding the outer muon barrel chambers of CMS for HL-LHC : preparing an umbrella before the rain
CMS has just finished wrapping the barrel with a new layer which is not a new detector but a brand new protection system aimed to keep the outer barrel muon chambers shielded from background radiation present in the experimental cavern during collisions.

First GEM station (GE11) installed in CMS
Despite the rather challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CMS GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) team has been working against all odds to complete the installation of the very first GEM station (GE1/1) in CMS.

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.
