CERN Accelerating science

Two new wheels of the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) of the muon system are being installed during the LHC’s first Long Shutdown (LS1).

The past two weeks have seen several pivotal steps taken towards achieving some of the key goals for CMS during the LHC’s first Long Shutdown (LS1).

Repairs needed to be performed on a region consisting of 75 channels in the positive ECAL endcap, which had been inoperable since 2009.

Early in the morning on 22 October, I grabbed my laptop and safety helmet and took the elevator 30 storeys underground to the CMS experimental cavern.

Dear CMS Alumni, students, and postdocs,

CMS is taking its first steps in making up to half of its data accessible to the public, in accordance with its policy for data preservation, re-use and open access.

As you know, we have to elect the CMS CB Chairperson for the term July 2014 - Dec. 2016.
The election will take place during two special Collaboration Board meetings, held during the December CMS week:
on Tuesday December 10th evening: discussion with the candidates

Special mention to ATLAS and CMS experiments for confirming existence of the BEH mechanism by discovering a Higgs boson

One otherwise unremarkable day, the meeting of the CMS group at the University of Minnesota Physics Department took an unexpected, yet not entirely uncommon, detour to the pages of the web.

The CMS Collaboration Board career committee and the LPC management are pleased to announce that there will be a panel discussion on careers in Industry, which will be held at the LPC at FNAL in Chicago on 13 Nov 2013, between 18:00 and 20:00.  Panelists include:
