A new gem inside the CMS detector
This month U.S. scientists embedded sophisticated new instruments in the heart of a Large Hadron Collider experiment.
Anything to declare?
Sometimes being a physicist means giving detector parts the window seat.
LHC’s newest data: a victory for the Standard Model, defeat for new physics
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.
Hopes for revolutionary new LHC particle dashed
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.
The ICHEP race condition
What’s it like to be part of an experiment collaboration in the weeks and days before a big announcement?
LHC bump fades with more data
Possible signs of new particle seem to have washed out in an influx of new data.
Higgs boson resurfaces in LHC data
The Higgs appeared in the second run of the LHC about twice as fast as it did in the first.
The Higgs-shaped elephant in the room
Higgs bosons should mass-produce bottom quarks. So why is it so hard to see it happening?
