Summary:
The CMS collaboration at CERN has released into the open 18 new datasets, comprising proton–proton collision data recorded by CMS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during the second half of 2011. LHC data are unique and are of interest to the scientific community as well as to those in education. Preserving the data and the knowledge to analyse them is critical. CMS has therefore committed to releasing its research data openly, with up to 100% being made available 10 years after recording them; the embargo gives the scientists working on CMS adequate time to analyse the data themselves.
