For over a decade, the CMS Collaboration, a large team of researchers based at different institutes worldwide, has been analyzing data collected at the Compact Muon Solenoid, a general-purpose ...

Scholarly focus: Olsen is the physics co-coordinator for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the world's biggest particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is located at the ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

To understand the subatomic processes unfolding at the center of powerful particle collisions, scientists design and build huge, massive detectors. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, currently ...

Ten years! Ten years since the start of operations for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the most complex machines ever created. The LHC is the world’s largest particle accelerator, buried 100 ...

Collisions between protons and lead ions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have produced surprising behavior in some of the particles created by the collisions. The new observation suggests the ...
