This year, the CMS Data Analysis School (CMSDAS) celebrates a decade of hands-on trainings, exercises and challenges involving several hundreds of CMS members for the benefit of some 1500 students.
This year the 27th conference on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS2019), is being held in Torino. As a part of the conference, the "Altarelli Prize" is awarded to a person with research experience in the fields covered by the DIS conference series.
During LS2, CMS will install 144 additional muon detector modules specially designed to detect particles produced in the very forward region.
Suppose that you need to see what is inside a small room that is difficult to access. Thick walls between you and the object of your investigation; you cannot dig, and the closest that you can get to the target is inside a narrow tunnel, with no electricity to power your instrumentation.
Observation of two excited Bc mesons and first Bc(2S) mass measurement using the LHC data collected in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In November 2018 the proton-proton running of the LHC Run 2 ended. The data collected in 2018 is the largest ever collected at the LHC. Just under three months after the final proton proton collisions were collected, the CMS collaboration has submitted the first paper using this dataset. This reflects an immense achievement as substantial levels of computing on the level of data calibration and reconstruction is necessary to be able to use the data for analyses at the level that it is suitable for a scientific result.
The CMS detector is built from several different layers, surrounding the beam pipe in which the LHC beams collide. The subdetector that is closest to the collisions is the pixel detector.
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.
The EPS Emmy Noether Distinction for Women in Physics 2018 has been attributed to a CMS member, Dr.
A successful four years of CMS detector operation came to an end last week and now we are beginning a new chapter. The next two-years of Long Shutdown (LS2) will mark an important transition for CMS.
The top quark is the heaviest particle in the standard model, and since its discovery in 1995 at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, its study has become prominent in furthering our understanding of fundamental phy
