Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

B. P. Abbott, +1011 more
- 11 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger, and these observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of a new boson at a mass of 125 GeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC

S. Chatrchyan, +2863 more
- 17 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, results from searches for the standard model Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV in the CMS experiment at the LHC, using data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.8 standard deviations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC

S. Chatrchyan, +3175 more
- 14 Aug 2008 - 
TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run

J. Aasi, +887 more
- 11 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the performance of the LIGO instruments during this epoch, the work done to characterize the detectors and their data, and the effect that transient and continuous noise artefacts have on the sensitivity of the detectors to a variety of astrophysical sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictions for the Rates of Compact Binary Coalescences Observable by Ground-based Gravitational-wave Detectors

J. Abadie, +709 more
- 12 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an up-to-date summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the Initial and Advanced versions of the ground-based LIGO and Virgo Astrophysical estimates for compact-binary coalescence rates depend on a number of assumptions and unknown model parameters.
