... reaction. This has only a finite length partly due to the loss of energy to the g-radiation, but largely due to the muon decay. The above description refers to muons in orbit. What about the opposite picture, i.e., a muon acting as a nucleus to an electron? The muon would be m +, of course, and the ...

... Particle physicists measure energies in GeV, where 1 GeV = 109 eV = energy gained by an electron or proton accelerated through 109 volts. How does one use E2 = p2c2 + m2c4 to measure mass using particle physicists’ units? For the units in each term of E2 = p2c2 +m2c4 to be the same, p must be in Ge ...

Compact Muon Solenoid
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors built on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland and France. The goal of CMS experiment is to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for the Higgs boson, extra dimensions, and particles that could make up dark matter.CMS is 21.6 metres long, 15 metres in diameter, and weighs about 14,000 tonnes. Approximately 3,800 people, representing 199 scientific institutes and 43 countries, form the CMS collaboration who built and now operate the detector. It is located in an underground cavern at Cessy in France, just across the border from Geneva. In July 2012, along with ATLAS, CMS tentatively discovered the Higgs Boson.
