CERN Accelerating science

Every year the CMS Thesis Award Committee recognizes and rewards excellence in the CMS PhD student research.

The CMS collaboration at CERN is happy to announce the release of its fourth batch of open data to the public.

Each year, The European Physical Society (EPS)* recognizes outstanding work by one or more young physicists (under the age of 35) in the field of Particle Physics and/or Particle Astrophysics with the Young Experimental Physicist Prize.This year, two EPS prizes for young scientists i

The CMS collaboration is presenting several new results at the 2019 European Society of Physics’s High-Energy Physics conference (EPS-HEP) taking place in Ghent, Belgium.

Managing the amount of data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collisions is a major challenge for CMS physicists. The detector produces more than 500 terabytes of data per second.

Paraskevas Sphicas, CMS' former co-Deputy Spokesperson of CMS (2014-2016), and CMS physics coordinator during the crucial phase from 2006 to the start of data taking, was elected as Fellow of the prestigious Royal Society of the UK and the Commonwealth. 

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 Shut

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.
