Latest results on di-Higgs boson production with CMS
The latest results on searches for production of two Higgs bosons with the CMS detector using the 2016 CERN LHC dataset are presented, as shown at the LHCP 2017 conference....
EHR pricing structure - Cerner example, PART 2 of 4
Good evening Healthcare\_anon members This segment is part 2 of 4 of the Electrnoic Health Record (EHR) market segment's Total Addressable Market exploration. What this post aims to do is to list the...
Comparative evaluation of future collider options
In anticipation of the completion of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) programme by the end of 2041, CERN is preparing to launch a new major facility in the mid-2040s. According to the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particl...
Charge-state distributions of highly charged lead ions at relativistic collision energies
Presented is a study of the charge-state evolution of relativistic lead ions passing through a thin aluminum stripper foil. It was motivated by the Gamma Factory project at CERN, where optical laser pulses will be converted into intense gamma-ray bea...
Energy dependence of hadronic observables in central Pb+Pb reactions at the CERN SPS
In the recent years the NA49 experiment has collected data on Pb+Pb collisions at beam energies between 20 to 158 AGeV with the objective to cover the critical region of energy densities where the expected phase transition to a deconfined phase mig...
On Carpi and Alessandro conjecture
The well known open Černý conjecture states that each \san with $n$ states has a \sw of length at most $(n-1)^2$. On the other hand, the best known upper bound is cubic of $n$. Recently, in the paper \cite{CARPI1} of Alessandro and Carpi, the aut...

Evolution of the SPS Power Converter Controls towards the LHC Era
By the end of the nineties, the power converter control system (Mugef) of the CERN proton accelerator (SPS) had undergone a complete modernization. This resulted in newly developed hardware for function generation, measurement and I/O in a VME envi...
Sir John Adams: his legacy to the world of particle accelerators
John Adams acquired an unrivalled reputation for his leading part in designing and constructing the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in CERN's early days. In 1968, and after several years heading a fusion laboratory in the UK, he came back to Geneva to pilot...
Flux Loop Measurements of the Magnetic Flux Density in the CMS Magnet Yoke
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general purpose detector, designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6-m-diameter by 12.5-m-length free...
Performance of a Full-Size Small-Strip Thin Gap Chamber Prototype for the ATLAS New Small…
The instantaneous luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will be increased up to a factor of five with respect to the present design value by undergoing an extensive upgrade program over the coming decade. The most important upgrade project...
Languages of general interval exchange transformations
The languages generated by interval exchange transformations have been characterized by Ferenczi-Zamboni (2008) and Belov-Cernyatev (2010) under some extra conditions on the system. Lifting these conditions leads us to consider successively natural c...
The Gamma Factory proposal for CERN
This year, 2015, marks the centenary of the publication of Einsteins Theory of General Relativity and it has been named the International Year of Light and light-based technologies by the UN General Assembly. It is thus timely to discuss the possibil...
Beam Longitudinal Dynamics Simulation Suite BLonD
The beam longitudinal dynamics code BLonD has been developed at CERN since 2014 and has become a central tool for longitudinal beam dynamics simulations. In this paper, we present this modular simulation suite and the various physics models that can...
Enriching the physics program of the CMS experiment via data scouting and data parking
Specialized data-taking and data-processing techniques were introduced by the CMS experiment in Run 1 of the CERN LHC to enhance the sensitivity of searches for new physics and the precision of standard model measurements. These techniques, termed da...
Particle-flow reconstruction and global event description with the CMS detector
The CMS apparatus was identified, a few years before the start of the LHC operation at CERN, to feature properties well suited to particle-flow (PF) reconstruction: a highly-segmented tracker, a fine-grained electromagnetic calorimeter, a hermetic ha...
A portrait of the Higgs boson by the CMS experiment ten years after the discovery
In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 GeV. Ten years later, and with the data corresponding to the production of 30 times larger number of H...
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) - 2018 Summary Report
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a TeV-scale high-luminosity linear $e^+e^-$ collider under development at CERN. Following the CLIC conceptual design published in 2012, this report provides an overview of the CLIC project, its current status, an...
Minimum Bias Measurements with ALICE at the LHC
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the seven experiments at the the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. ALICE is especially designed for heavy-ion collisions but it also operates a rich proton-proton (pp) program....
