ATLAS and CMS experiments present results on Higgs boson searches
( press release )
LIP is a member of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),
presently in preparation at CERN.
The experiment will study very high energy collisions of proton and nuclear beams with the goal
of investigating the most fundamental properties of matter and,
in particular, the study of the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking and the origin of mass,
exploiting the discovery opportunities offered by the new LHC energy.
The activities of the LIP/CMS group include:
1) Hardware and software for the trigger and the readout system of the electromagnetic calorimeter;
2) Proton-proton physics, in particular measurement of Top quark properties, Higgs boson and SUSY searches;
3) Heavy-Ion physics, with the study of the quark-gluon plasma through measurements of quarkonia production.
