First observation of photons-to-taus in proton–proton collisions by CMSPress releasexeno Mon, 03/25/2024 - 11:04924
Using the outstanding tracking capabilities of the CMS detector, the collaboration observed two photons producing two tau-leptons in proton–proton collisions
In March 2024, the CMS collaboration announced the observation of two photons creating two tau leptons in proton–proton collisions. It is the first time that this process has been seen in proton–proton collisions, which was made possible by using the precise tracking capabilities of the CMS detector. It is also the most prec ..read more

Super Strong Magnetic Fields Leave Imprint on Nuclear MatterPress ReleaseLauren Fri, 02/23/2024 - 09:38824
Data from heavy ion collisions give new insight into electromagnetic properties of quark-gluon plasma
Collisions of heavy ions generate an immensely strong electromagnetic field. Scientists investigate traces of this powerful electromagnetic field in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state where quarks and gluons are liberated from the colliding protons and neutrons.

Final supernova results from Dark Energy Survey offer unique insights into the expansion of the universePress ReleaseLauren Tue, 01/09/2024 - 09:02124
An example of a supernova discovered by the Dark Energy Survey within the field covered by one of the individual detectors in the Dark Energy Camera. The supernova exploded in a spiral galaxy with redshift = 0.04528, which corresponds to a light-travel time of about 0.6 billion years. This is one of the nearest supernovae in the sample. In the inset, the supernova is a small dot at the upper-right of the bright galaxy center. Image: DES colla ..read more
