Hi,

I am new on this forum.

Watching the second "LHC status report" video (http://cdsweb.cern.ch/search?f=490__a&p=LHC%20reports) I noticed that the spokesperson of CMS and LHCb mentioned dimuon events at 3030 MeV and all the assembly was laughing.

Do you know what these events are ?

Thanks

This Dimuon event is a J/Psi candidate. The J/Psi decays among other channels into two muons and is important, because it can be well reconstructed.
