In new papers by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, physicists detail high-precision results from their latest Higgs boson studies.
CMS
On July 4, 2012, researchers at the CERN laboratory in Europe announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. It was a tremendous triumph for the Standard Model of particle physics and confirmed a prediction made nearly half a century prior. In 2022, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of that momentous discovery.
A new search for Higgs boson pairs with the CMS experiment has pushed us closer than ever to a measurement of the Higgs boson self-coupling.
In part IV of our “How to do big science” series, Fermilab scientist Boaz Klima explains the scientific peer review and publication process, using research at the CMS particle collider experiment at CERN as an example.
Scientists at Fermilab have been world leaders — precisely measuring known physics and scouring the data, looking for hints that we may need to revise the Standard Model. Presentations of new results at a recent conference could indicate that physics discoveries are right around the corner.
CERN’s accelerators and the LHC’s detectors have undergone major upgrades that will allow scientists to collect more data in the upcoming run than they did in the previous two runs combined.
The Fermilab alumnus, who has been working on the CMS experiment at CERN, now returns to the Lab to lead SiDet and will oversee the technical coordination of CMS upgrades.
When a theory breaks, you learn how to build it better.
Starting in September, McBride will lead one of the largest scientific collaborations in history.
The LPC hosted its 12th annual school, the second to be held fully virtually, from Jan. 4-14, 2022. More than 120 students, postdocs and faculty from around the world participated.
