Description
Forty million times per second, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces the highest energy collisions ever created in a laboratory. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is located at one of four collision points on the LHC ring, using concentric sub-detectors to measure outgoing particles across a wide range of energies and species. The resulting data can be used to study Standard Model particles with unprecedented precision as well as to search for completely new physics phenomena. In this talk I will highlight some of the recent work by CMS physicists, and future prospects for the experiment.
