CMS prepares for the future

There will be no rest at Point 5, site of the CMS detector, during the long shutdown

First measurements of electroweak boson fusion

In proton collisions at the LHC, vector boson fusion (VBF) happens when quarks from each one of the two colliding protons radiate W or Z bosons that subsequently interact or "fuse" as in the Feynman d...

New boson’s mirror image looks like the Higgs

More than 20 years ago, the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC embarked on a long road into the unknown and, rather like Christopher Columbus, the two collaborations reached a new land last summer....

ATLAS in 2012: building on success

As more data rolled in, new results rolled out.

Measurement of photons stimulates quest for QGP temperature

One of the classic signals expected for a quark–gluon plasma (QGP) is the radiation of "thermal photons", with a spectrum reflecting the temperature of the system.

CMS homes in on the heaviest quark

The top quark is the heaviest point-like particle known. It weighs about as much as an atom of tungsten yet is an elementary building block of the Standard Model of particle physics.
