CMS bridges the gap in jet measurements
A little-known fact is that the last three days of Run 1 were reserved for relatively low-energy proton–proton collisions at 2.76 TeV.

Latest ATLAS results with 13 TeV proton–proton collisions at the LHC
Since the first ATLAS results from LHC Run 2 were presented at this summer’s conferences (EPS-HEP 2015 and LHCP 2015) with an amount of data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approxima...

CMS presents new 13 TeV results at end-of-year jamboree
The first phase of collisions after the LHC restart earlier this year provided CMS with data at the novel energy of 13 TeV, enabling CMS to explore uncharted domains of physics. At the end of this ex...

CMS data-scouting and a search for low-mass dijet resonances
Proton beams crossed inside each of the CMS and ATLAS detectors 20 million times a second during the 2012 LHC proton–proton run. However, the physics programme of CMS is based on only a small subse...

Supersymmetry searches: the most comprehensive ATLAS summary to date
ATLAS has summarised 22 Run 1 searches, using more than 310,000 models to work out where the elusive SUSY particles might be hiding. The first run of the LHC taught us at least two significa...

Is the Standard Model about to crater?
There are now quite a few discrepancies, or “tensions”, between laboratory experiments and the predictions of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. All of them are of the 2...

Searches for new phenomena with LHC Run-2
After demonstrating a good understanding of the detector and observing most of the Standard Model particles using the first data of LHC Run 2 collected in July (CERN Courier September 2015 p8), the A...

On the trail of long-lived particles
When searching for new particles in ATLAS, it is often assumed that they will either decay to observable Standard Model particles at the centre of the detector, or escape undetected, in which case the...
