CMS
Interview with Guido Tonelli
Guido Tonelli, former spokesperson of the CMS experiment and one of the protagonists of the Higgs boson discovery, discusses the meaning of one of the major breakthroughs of the century, as well as the importance of pushing beyond the current limits…
Read moreCharting the Unknown: interpreting LHC data from the energy frontier
The LHC has started its Run2, exploring for the first time the high-energy frontier at 13 TeV. Collected data will give decisive information on the dynamics behind electroweak symmetry breaking and allow testing the weak-scale…
Read moreLHC Restart 2016
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data at 13TeV. The goal is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics which ulitmately in decades to come can drive innovation and inventions…
Read moreCMS releases new data
Rediscover the Standard Model of particle physics and much more with open data from the Large Hadron Collider Today, the CMS Collaboration at CERN has released more than 300 terabytes (TB) of high-quality open data. These include over 100 TB, or 2.5…
Read moreResults from ATLAS & CMS shed light on Higgs properties
Three years after the announcement of the discovery of a new particle, the Higgs boson, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have recently presented for the first time combined measurements of many of its properties, at the third annual Large Hadron…
Read moreCMS results in Hard Probes 2015
CMS has delivered a comprehensive set of differential RAA measurements, quantifying the jet quenching effect for hard probes of various flavors. Profound suppression of strongly interacting probes in 2.76 TeV PbPb collisions is established with high…
Read moreLHC experiments present latests results from heavy-ion runs (old)
The 7th edition of the Hard Probes International Conference series was hosted by McGill University in Montréal, Québec, Canada, from 29 June to 3 July. During the last two decades, high-energy nuclear physics has seen a tremendous progress;…
Read moreData Quality Monitoring: An important step towards new physics
Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is an important aspect of every high-energy physics experiment. In the era of LHC, when the detectors are extremely sophisticated devices, an online feedback on the quality of the data recorded is needed to avoid taking…
Read moreLHC experiment release data in CERN's Open Data Portal
On 20 November 2014, CERN launched the Open Data Portal, making data from real collision events at the LHC experiments available for the first time to the general public. This project is part of the Organisation's policy of openness, which is…
