Particle physics is at a turning point

Colposcopy at a turning point

For women who have abnormal Pap test results, the biopsy under colposcopic evaluation is the gold standard for determining the treatment modality. To increase the effectiveness of colposcopic communication, the International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) recently published fourth new nomenclature, aiming to create an evidence-based terminology. To increase the diagnos...

Occupational medicine at a turning point.

W ith the successful control of many of the most serious occupational hazards to health, the focus of occupational medicine in developed countries has shifted to other work related disorders that are rarely fatal but cause substantial disability. This paper hypothesises that many of these disorders do not arise from detectable organic pathology, but rather are a psychologically mediated respons...

Particle Physics at Future Colliders

The search for physics beyond the Standard Model motivates new high-energy accelerators, which will require high luminosities in order to produce interesting new heavy particles. Using the Higgs boson and supersymmetry as examples, we discuss the capabilities of the LHC and ee linear colliders in the TeV and multi-TeV energy ranges to discover and study new particles. CERN-TH/2002-292 hep-ex/02...

18 Particle Physics at LHC / CMS 4 Particle Physics at LHC / CMSC

In 1995 the Physik-Institut of the University of Z urich joined the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider. We participate (i) in the development and construction of the barrel silicon pixel detector (design of the pixels and readout chips and construction of the support structure and cooling system) and (ii) in the design and development of microstrip gas chambers (MSGC). The CMS pixel...
