CMS experiment - 100 scientific results published
The CMS collaboration has published its 100th scientific result based upon LHC collision data. Based upon work carried out by a team of collaborators from across the world, an analysis of around 500 trillion proton-proton collisions in 2011 has allowed the world’s best experimental limits to be set on the mass of a Higgs-like particle decaying to pairs of tau leptons.
'Testing randomness with photons by direct characterization of optical t-designs'
CQP researchers have had a new article published in Physical Review A (Vol.91, No.2).
I'm a scientist, get me out of here! Physics PhD student wins the Big Data zone
Stefan Lines, a PhD student working with Dr Zoe Leinhardt, recently won the Big Data zone of the I'm a Scientist event, in which Key stage 2 to Key stage 5 school students put questions to scientists. The prize money will buy a Raspberry Pi for two of the schools involved, who will use it to monitor the weather.
