The first of the improved Resistive Plate Chambers for Hi-Lumi CMS were installed in record time during the LHC winter break.
The RPC Hi-Lumi CMS Project reached an important milestone at the start of 2025 by delivering the first half of its final…
Identification of muons is essential for the physics done at the LHC. CMS has recently published a paper with new techniques to identify muons with high momentum. What is so special about muons with high momentum that they deserve a dedicated paper…
During LS2, CMS will install 144 additional muon detector modules specially designed to detect particles produced in the very forward region.
For the CMS experiment, Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) is like very prolonged open heart surgery. The…
The source of energy for most of the life on our planet originates from proton-proton collisions at the core of the Sun, which occur at an energy (or temperature) about a billion times less than the collision energy of the LHC. Due to emission of…
Grab a can of soda, shake it thoroughly, and open it up. What do you get? It’s an explosion of fizz. A similar phenomenon in the subatomic world might help us probe the nature of fundamental particles.
Scientists have spent centuries searching for…
