The CU team helped design and build the CMS forward pixel detectors -- the “eyes” of the device -- that help researchers measure the direction and momentum of subatomic particles following collisions, providing clues to their origin and structure.</p><p>&lt;<a href="http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2012/07/04/international-team-involving-cu-finds-best-evidence-yet-elusive-higgs-boson" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article</a>&gt;</p></div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-right col-lg"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Sat, 07 Jul 2012 01:32:15 +0000 Anonymous 700 at /physics
