TheCompact Muon Solenoid(CMS) is a general-purpose detector at theLarge Hadron Collider(LHC). It is designed to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for theHiggs boson, extra dimensions, and particles that could make updark matter. Although it has the same scientific goals as theATLASexperiment, it uses different technical solutions and a different magnet-system design. On 5 April 2015, after two years of maintenance and upgrades, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started up at the collision energy of 13 teraelectronvolts (TeV).The decision to begin the LHC’s second run at 13 TeVhas been taken in order to optimise the delivery of particle collisions for physics research, and thereby speed the route to potential new physics. An electronvolt is a unit of energy or mass used in particle physics. One eV is extremely small, and units of a million electronvolts, MeV, or a thousand million electronvolts, GeV, are more common. The LHC will ultimately reach 7 million million electronvolts, or 7 TeV per beam. One TeV is about the energy of motion of a flying mosquito.

The Z boson is a neutral elementary particle, which – along with its electrically charged cousin, the W – carries the weak force

A quark is an elementary particle. According to the standard model, there are six flavors and quarks are observed to occur only in combinations of two (mesons) or three (baryons).

To recreate conditions similar to those of the very early universe, powerful accelerators make head-on collisions between massive ions, such as gold or lead nuclei.

The Higgs boson, as proposed within theStandard Model, is the simplest manifestation of theBrout-Englert-Higgs mechanism. It gives mass to elementary particles.
