CERN Accelerating science

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:

Guido Tonelli, CMS Spokesperson during 2010–2011, was awarded the prestigious Enrico Fermi Prize of the Italian Physics Society, along with other LHC scientists from Italy.

Collide @ CERN and Swiss choreographer Gilles Jobin are working in collaboration with the CMS experiment at CERN, which

Being a young researcher in a collaboration the size of CMS can be daunting, and requiring to move to CERN even more so. A new scholarship has been set up with the aim of supporting master's students, PhD researchers or post-docs of the CMS Collaboration for a year's stay at CERN.

Mihir Khanna, from the Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, India, was one of hundreds of high-school interns who come to CERN each year. He recounts his once-in-a-lifetime experience below.

CMS presented new results of searches for signatures of supersymmetry (SUSY) at the LHCP conference held in Barcelona, Spain in May and at the EPSHEP conference held in Stockholm, Sweden in July.

Despite the violent nature of the particle collisions that take place inside the CMS detector, the cathedral-sized cavern in which it sits thirty storeys underground exudes a certain peaceful calm.

CMS has seen an important rare decay predicted by the Standard Model
