CERN Accelerating science

On Monday, 12^th March 2012, 16 high-school students from Annecy, France awoke with excitement; they knew it was not going to be an ordinary day!

As a young student, I was taught that mathematics is the language of physics. While largely true, one also cannot communicate in CMS at the CERN LHC without learning a plethora of acronyms.

CMS has presented a rich variety of results at the Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories sessions of the Rencontres de Moriond conference in La Thuile, Italy.

Please tell us how we can improve the new CMS internal website by clicking on this 1-minute web survey at: https://cern.ch/cms

Please don't delay. We'll close the survey at the end of CMS Week and then start implementing missing features.

At a CERN seminar today, CMS presented results for the search for new physics in the decay of B_s and B⁰ mesons to two muons, taking into account all of the 4.9 fb⁻¹ of data collected in 2011.

Google+, the social network by Google, allows users to participate in Hangouts — multi-user video calls. These Hangouts can even be streamed live via a feature called Hangouts On Air.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will increase the energies of the bunches of subatomic particles called protons that it smashes together.

Today, operators of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator announced their plan for the 2012 run.
