Forward-looking with half a Higgs
Eight years ago in 2012, at the largest International Conference on High Energy Physics, the discovery of a new particle carefully coined as Higgs boson-like was announced by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations.
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.
Fitting pieces into a gigantic jig-saw puzzle: the role of the Integration Office in CMS.
When visitors at CMS enter the cavern and see the detector in all its beauty, they often ask how it has been possible to fit everything together and to make it work as a singular instrument.
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.
