CMS experiment

Funding from the Breakthrough Prize is supporting doctoral research on the CMS experiment at CERN, according to the report. The money is being used to advance the PhD candidate's work on the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of the detectors at the Large Hadron Collider that studies fundamental particles. The story highlights how high-profile science prizes are directly financing early-career physics research at the world's leading particle physics laboratory.
