Search for Higgs Boson at the CMS Experiment=0D=0A=
The standard model (SM) of elementary particles provides a remarkably accurate=0D=0A=
description of results from many high energy physics experiments. However,=0D=0A=
the Higgs boson in the SM, through which fundamental particles gain mass, is=0D=0A=
yet to be confirmed by experiments. I will talk on the recent discovery of a Higgs=0D=0A=
like boson with a mass near 125 GeV at the LHC CMS experiment. This result is=0D=0A=
based on proton-proton collision data corresponding to integrated luminosities=0D=0A=
of 5.1 fb-1 and 5.3 fb-1 collected at center of mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV,=0D=0A=
respectively. With more data and subsequent analysis physicists will confirm=0D=0A=
whether this newly discovered boson is SM Higgs boson or not. (Based on CMS=0D=0A=

Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Induced=0D=0A=
Secondary Magnetic Islands=0D=0A=
Magnetic Reconnection is now considered to be one of the most important=0D=0A=
topics studied in plasma physics today. It has long been thought that Alfen=0D=0A=
waves and the tearing mechanism have been the main drivers of secondary=0D=0A=
magnetic island generations within magnetic reconnection domains. New=0D=0A=
research by Fermo, et al., expanded from previous work by Drake, et al., propose=0D=0A=
that the actual culprit is the existence of vortices generated by the Kelvin-=0D=0A=
Helmholtz Instability within reconnection environments. Fermo, et al. revisit a=0D=0A=
modeling program to study the mechanisms behind secondary magnetic island=0D=0A=
development at the electron skin depth of plasma flows. (Based on R. L. Fermo,=0D=0A=
et al., Physical Review Letters 108, 255005 (2012).)
