CERN Accelerating science

This is a well-written piece exploring the need for more data and what possible interpretations there could be: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/life-and-physics/2011/aug/06/1

Building 40 at CERN’s Meyrin site was abuzz with excitement as CMS formally inaugurated an art installation featuring a full-size high-resolution photograph of the CMS detector organised by the CMS Communications Group.

The measured Drell-Yan production rates, normalised to the production rates in the Z-boson region, show good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

The observed numbers of events in both decay modes are consistent with those expected in the Standard Model.
Upper limits on the branching fraction have been determined at 90% and 95% confidence levels (CL).

The CMS collaboration is presenting its latest results this week at the 2011 Europhysics Conference on High-Energy Physics, held in Grenoble, France.

A number of EPS talks will be previewed centrally on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 of July.

The schedule for these previews can be found on

The PAS of EXO-10-022 "Search for New Ditau Resonances in pp Collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV" is now public. You find it on CDS at

The PAS of EXO-11-005 "Search for T/t' decays to tZ in pp Collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV" is now public.

Building 40 at CERN is going to change its appearance. A beautiful 1:1 maxi-poster of CMS is being installed in the central hall. To celebrate the completion of this installation we would like to invite you to a short drink this coming Friday from 12 to 1PM.
