The Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) at the Large HadronCollider (LHC) at CERN has brilliant prospects for uncovering newinformation about the physical structure of our universe. Soonphysicists around the world will participate together in analyzing CMSdata in search of new physics...

We provide a detailed study of the phenomenology of orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string within the context of supergravity effective theories. Our investigation focuses on those models where the soft Lagrangian is dominated by loop contributions to the various soft supersymmetry...

The implementation of persistency in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Software Framework uses the core I/O functionality of ROOT. We will discuss the current ROOT/IO implementation, its evolution from the prior Objectivity/DB{trademark} implementation, and the plans and ongoing work for the...
