CMS submitted its 1000th journal paper
Particle Physics (IPA)
Scientists at the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, to which ETH physicists are making central contributions, submitted their 1,000th paper — and this is just the beginning.
The CMS detector is one of four large detectors situated around the 27-kilometre ring that is the LHC, accompanying the ATLAS, LHCb and ALICE detectors. Leading roles in the collaboration are held by the ETH groups of Günther Dissertori, Christoph Grab and Rainer Wallny, and formerly also by the groups of Felicitas Pauss, Ralph Eichler and Hans Hofer. Moreover, Annapaola de Cosa, recently appointed Assistant Professor of Particle Physics at the Department of Physics, has her research focuses on analysing data recorded by the CMS experiment.
Churning out raw data from a cavern located 100 meters below the French countryside, the CMS detector has produced enough data for its collaboration to typically publish more than 100 research papers per year. In June 2020, CMS scientists are now celebrating the release of their 1,000th research paper. The famous paper on the discovery of the Higgs particle — already with 10,784 citations since 2012 — is impressively only the 183rd publication for the CMS collaboration.
