Matthew Herndon is involved in the ongoing upgrade of the CSC (cathode strip chamber) forward muon system and well as detailed studies of the performance of the CSC system.He helped design the CMS calorimeter trigger system and continues to dabble in designing its upgrades. On CMS, his focus is in better understanding the Higgs boson, searching for its partners, and possible new physics connections, especially to dark matter. Sridhara Dasu currently leads the UW–Madison High Energy Physics group.Of the current UW–Madison physics faculty involved: “We are looking forward to more with the upcoming run and with the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade.”

CMS Software and Computing Operations program manager. “It’s a proud moment for CMS in general and for the UW CMS group to see our work over the years culminate in this historic milestone!” says Bose, who currently serves as the Deputy U.S. In 2018, Professor Kevin Black and Professor Tulika Bose joined the physics department. The team later expanded to include Professor Matt Herndon and Senior Scientists Dr. Smith, Emeritus Distinguished Scientist Richard Loveless and Professor and current department chair Sridhara Dasu are amongst the founding members of CMS. UW–Madison’s Professor Emeritus Don Reeder, Professor Emeritus Wesley H. Amongst its achievements, CMS announced in 2012 the discovery of the Higgs boson, along with ATLAS collaboration. With multiple University of Wisconsin–Madison physics faculty involved in CMS over the years, the physics department wanted to use this milestone to celebrate their achievements.ĬMS is an international collaboration of over 4000 scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, which churns out data that have contributed immensely to our understanding of particle physics and pointing directions to moving beyond the Standard Model. In June 2020, The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration announced the submission of its 1000 th scientific publication since the experiment began a decade ago.
