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.
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.
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.
For researchers interested in unlocking the mysteries of the universe, having access to the most powerful high-energy accelerator on the planet, a world-class detector, and young, fresh, and enthusiastic minds are a winning combination – and the Fermilab CMS Department has all three.

For a week spanning the months of July and August, scientists from around the world virtually gathered to attend the prestigious biennial ICHEP conference. At ICHEP, some of the most exciting physics results of the year are unveiled. CMS scientists from Fermilab and the LHC Physics Center were well-represented at the conference.
In January, over 100 graduate students, postdocs and faculty from around the world joined the Fermilab LHC Physics Center for its annual CMS Data Analysis School. Even though there are similar CMS schools hosted by other institutions around the globe, the LHC Physics Center school remains the one that provides the most comprehensive curriculum and the most attended one.
For Reham Aly from Egypt, now a graduate student on CMS at the University of Bari, Italy, this was the first visit to the United States and Fermilab. She had been invited to come to work at the Fermilab LHC Physics Center for two months. Another student, Angela Taliercio, an Italian working on her Ph.D. at the University of Louvain, Belgium, had visited the LPC in 2018. The rewarding experience she had, she says, made her want to come back. Reham and Angela spent staggered two-month periods at Fermilab, from October to December 2019.
