CMS Virtual Visit
FUUAST has organized a unique event, a virtual tour of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. The CMS detector is located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is the world's most powerful particle collider. During this event, Pakistani research fellows based at CERN explained the different parts of the experiments, their objectives, and physical reasoning behind developing such a complex detection system.
The CMS detector is designed to identify the fundamental particles produced during collisions of proton-proton bunches at extremely high energy, when protons are moving close to the speed of light. These experiments require cutting-edge technology in engineering, computing, and physical sciences.
The role of Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Zabta Khan Shenwari, in making this event a reality is commendable. His vision and connections have undoubtedly paved the way for future collaborations and exchanges between FUUAST and CERN.
