A few of the results that CMS presented at this year’s Quark Matter conference were highlighted a couple of weeks ago in the CERN Courier article that was also posted on CMS news.

The first CMS Upgrade Week of 2014 was held at Karlsruhe in the first week of June [https://indico.cern.ch/event/294765/]. The goal of the week was to present the first draft of the Technical Proposal (TP) for the Phase 2 Upgrade of CMS.
The April Global Run (AGR) took place last week, Monday-Friday 7-11 April. This being the first run since November 2013, the last run using the Run-1 DAQ, and the last run just before an extended cooling maintenance at P5, we embarked on the week with an ambitious plan of work.
As reported previously (ECAL Preshower removed from detector for repairs), both Preshower (ES) endcaps were removed temporarily from CMS and moved to the SX5 building at the end of 2013.
