Subatomic Desire at CMS
Les Atomes Dansants at CMS experimental site
Many philosophers thought that the Desire is the driving force of the world, on both microscopic and macroscopic scales. The same Desire that moves scientists in their demanding and endless quest after knowledge.

CMS has just completed four years of data collection. During this period, all groups within the CMS collaboration contributed to the operation of the detector.
Summer, particle physics, and deep learning

Friends, BBQs and the Universe
By Joshua Beirer
As a physicist in my early career, I felt incredibly happy when I was informed last March that I was selected as a future participant of the highly selective and renowned Summer Student Programme at CERN. At that time, I already had worked within the ATLAS Collaboration for the scope of my Bachelor’s thesis, but I had never actually worked in situ.

The best of my CERN Summer Student's experience
By Gaia Grosso
My name is Gaia and I have joined the CMS collaboration for three months as Summer Student at CERN. I completed my Bachelor in Physics in 2017 at the University of Padua and I am now attending a Master in Physics at the same institution. I had a great opportunity to take part in research work related to the use of machine learning to develop new statistical tools for detecting signals in particle physics.
