Boston University physicist Tulika Bose explains why there’s more than one large, general-purpose particle detector at the Large Hadron Collider.

This month U.S. scientists embedded sophisticated new instruments in the heart of a Large Hadron Collider experiment.

Sometimes being a physicist means giving detector parts the window seat.

From Forbes, Dec. 2, 2016: The latest search results released by the CMS collaboration rule out two classes of hypothetical particles, gluinos and squarks, below about 1.4 TeV in energy.

From Nature, Aug. 5, 2016: The intriguing data “bump” at the Large Hadron Collider — first reported in December — turns out to be nothing more than a statistical fluctuation.

What’s it like to be part of an experiment collaboration in the weeks and days before a big announcement?

Possible signs of new particle seem to have washed out in an influx of new data.

The Higgs appeared in the second run of the LHC about twice as fast as it did in the first.

Higgs bosons should mass-produce bottom quarks. So why is it so hard to see it happening?
