Physicists Gear Up for Huge Data Flow
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the European laboratory CERN weighs more than 12,000 tons. More than 700 scientists from 48 institutions in the United States participate in the CMS collaboration. For more information, visit: http://www.uscms.org/.

This track is an example of simulated data modeled for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, which will begin taking data later in 2008. This graphic shows a possible signature that a Higgs boson particle may leave in the detector. As the Higgs will be very short-lived, it cannot be observed directly, but rather, its production is inferred from the products of its decay.
