CUHK to study mystery of universe   

香港中文大学与欧洲核子研究组织探宇宙起源之谜

香港中文大学（中大）定于13日与欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）的主要研究团队——紧凑渺子线圈实验(CMS）签署合作协议，推动学生及科学家参与粒子物理研究，共同探索宇宙起源的谜团。

Hong Kong (CNS) -- The Chinese University of Hong Kong is signing a cooperation agreement today with the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) team of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the study of particle physics.

The CERN's major research team ATLAS announced their discovery of the "God particle" or Higgs particle on July 4, a great leap forward in the exploration of the origin of the universe.

CUHK alumni at ATLAS contributed to the significant finding.

Dean Ng Cheuk-yiu of the CUHK Science Faculty and CMS spokesman Prof Joe Incandela are co-hosting the signing ceremony, where Higgs particle team convener Prof Albert de Roeck will share the latest update on the "God particle" project.

Postgraduates and scientists with the CUHK will be offered the experimental platform for instrumental physics, data analysis and informational technology studies.
