CERN\u2019s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world\u2019s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, consisting of a 27km-long ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. Since its initial operation in 2010, the LHC has been behind several groundbreaking physics discoveries, including the discovery of the Higgs boson.<\/p>\n
The LHC has recently entered the \u2018Run 3\u2019 data-taking phase, after a three-year \u2018Long Shutdown\u2019 period for essential maintenance work and major upgrades. The LHC has a total of eight experiments that use detectors to analyse particles produced by collisions in the accelerator. The four large detectors are ATLAS<\/a>, CMS, LHCb and ALICE<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of the biggest of the detectors, alongside ATLAS, is the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) general-purpose detector. The CMS experiment has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter.<\/p>\n To discover what the Long Shutdown period meant for the CMS experiment, Georgie Purcell spoke to Gaelle Boudoul, CMS Run Coordinator.<\/p>\n
