In the heat of summer 2023, our group emerged as a hot spot for the production of the CMS GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) detector. We proudly unveiled the magnificent GE2/1, the second station of this cutting-edge detector at the Muon…
After months of intense research, CMS and ATLAS finally have announced the observation of one of the rarest and most extreme Standard Model processes ever observed at the LHC: the simultaneous production of four top quarks. Quarks are one of…
Ever thought how luminosity is measured at CMS? This done using so-called luminometers which are detectors counting a certain process with known cross-section. These cross-sections are measured once a year during a special LHC setup that allows to measure cross-sections…
