This year, four of Fermilab’s CMS postdoctoral researchers were among those invited to share their work and the work of their colleagues at a series of particle physics conferences.
Higgs boson
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons.
Kétévi Assamagan’s contributions to physics go beyond his research at the Large Hadron Collider.
After nearly three years of working remotely, Fermilab group members reconvened at CERN this December to celebrate CMS’ 30th birthday.
From der Standard (Germany), October 23, 2022: A new report on the mass of the Higgs ten years after its discovery. The CMS detector team has measured the uncertainty of the mass of the Higgs boson more precisely and the new findings have been published in nature.
From the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, July 4, 2022: Why is the Higgs boson named the “God Particle”? Christened by Fermilab’s director from 1979–89, Leon Lederman, he popularized the name of the Higgs boson in the world of particle physics and won the Nobel Prize in 1988 for his work on neutrino research.
In new papers by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, physicists detail high-precision results from their latest Higgs boson studies.
Today marks the start of LHC Run 3. So what was #restartingLHC in April all about?
Mike Albrow discusses an empty box as a thought experiment about fundamental particles, specifically the Higgs boson.
Scientists have learned a lot about the Higgs boson in the decade since they discovered it. But intriguing questions remain.
