The CMS detector, illustrated in Fig. 1, is centred around the largest and highest granularity silicon tracker ever built, including around twenty thousand detector units structured in thin cylindrical layers that extend over nearly 6 metres along…
CMS scientists discover some of the rarest collisions that the LHC can produce – such as the scattering of light by light – and learn more about the quantum nature of electromagnetism, search for new particles, and much more.
In everyday life…
