From the BBC: 'Jim [Al-Khalili] talks [to] CERN physicist, Tejinder Virdee about the search for the elusive Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle".
The LHC provides CMS with millions of collisions each second, and a wealth of physics data is obtained from the proton-proton interactions. In order to record all these data for analyses, all CMS sub-detectors have to be performing optimally.
On Monday, 12th 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 Bs 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.
