CMS Trigger Upgrades
UW physicists are hard at work upgrading the trigger system for the CMS experiment at the LHC, which is in the middle of a maintenance period in preparation for higher energy collisions in 2016. Graduate student Tom Perry takes a break from this work to give the public an explanation of what the trigger system is, using a bowl of party mix.
Congratulations to graduating physics majors!
The Department of Physics hosts a reception for graduating physics majors on Friday, May 16, 2014, 5:00-6:30 PM at 2241 Chamberlin Hall.
