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
On Sunday 2nd December CMS recorded the last collisions to bring to a close a very successful LHC second running period (Run 2) that began in 2015.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and publisher of the journal Science, has elected two CMS Collaborators, Joel Butler
New paper charts the progress of CMS-led education initiative to empower primary school teachers towards modern physics, scientific discovery and innovation
As well as making data from particle physics research public, the CMS experiment has developed additional tools in github to be used in schools
When the Large Hadron Collider is in operation, the cavern containing the CMS detector is an extremely inhospitable place, due to the high-energy radiation produced by the collisions.
