Great Expectations The Large Hadron Collider 2015
Science for the Public www.scienceforthepublic.org Nov 06 2014. Tulika Bose, Ph.D., Asst Professor of Physics, Boston University; and Trigger Coordinator of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment for the 2015 run of the Large Hadron Collider. The CMS is one of the major experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The trigger is the set of algorithms that select for particular data in the LHC particle collisions. The 2015 run will about double the energy of the 2012 particle collisions that produced the Higgs boson. So 2015 is expected to produce a whole range of surprises, and scientists hope to get some insights on big mysteries such as dark matter. Dr. Bose explains what she and her team will look for at CERN when it starts up early in 2015.
