Neutrinos are lightweight particles that rarely interact with matter. That makes them difficult to study, but they’re also the particles that could answer longstanding questions about the creation of the cosmos, so they’re worth the pursuit.

A successful four years of CMS detector operation came to an end last week and we are now beginning a new chapter. The coming two-years of Long Shutdown (LS2) will allow for major upgrades of CMS, some of them already preparing the detector for #HiLumiLHC.
