Researchers from IIT Hyderabad are a part of the staff that acquired the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS). The researchers are a part of an experimental collaboration engaged on the CMS experiment.
The 2025 Breakthrough Prize has been awarded to the co-authors of publications from the big experimental collaborations based mostly on the Large Hadron Collider at European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which has the 4 main experiments of CMS, ATLAS, ALICE and LHCb.
According to IIT-H, researchers, together with school members and college students, from the Department of Physics at IIT Hyderabad have been actively engaged on the CMS experiment, on analysis areas reminiscent of research of the Higgs boson, seek for new elementary particles and forces, and particle reconstruction at detectors amongst others.
The Breakthrough Prize 2025 lists Assistant Professor at IIT-H Saranya Ghosh, a member of the CMS collaboration, as one of many laureates, in accordance to IITH.
Mr. Ghosh, elated on the achievement, stated the prize recognises years of devoted effort and burdened that scientific progress that may be achieved by means of collaborative efforts. He hoped that younger researchers and college students will likely be additional motivated to pursue elementary analysis.
IITH Director B.S. Murty, recognising the collective efforts and dedication of hundreds of scientists, stated it was an honour to be a part of a world collaboration that’s increasing the frontiers of understanding the universe. He expressed satisfaction that the position of India and IITH in high-energy physics analysis was rising.
