Abstract:IHEP CMS group made a good contribution for both discovery and property measurement. As the production rate of Higgs to two gamma is very low, while the background rate is 12 magnitudes higher. To find Higgs in this channel is just like to dig out gold sand in a heap of normal sand. To reject the background effectively is the key for success. IHEP group provided the best method to reject background, and method was accepted by CMS. So we solved a key problem in the two gamma channel. When measuring the property, IHEP group participated both two gamma and 4 lepton channel analyses. In the two gamma channel, the mass and production rate was measured and the results are consistent with the Standard Model prediction. For the analysis we provided gamma identification method, a production rate scale factor from the interference of signal and background and gamma energy calibration. In the 4 lepton channel, the mass, production rate, couplings, spin and parity was measured. And the results all agree with the Standard Model prediction. Now all the particles predicted were found, the Standard Model gained a great success. But it can not explain what is dark matter, nor dark energy, and has no idea for the asymmetry between mass and anti-mass. People believe it is only an effective theory under a certain energy scale. Something beyond must exist, and we are going to find it. CMS IHEP group tried to do it through two ways, one is to search for new physics directly, the other is to check the Standard Model predictions, any violation could hint to a new physics. ATLAS Chinese Cluster (ACC) made leading contributions in many important physics topics, including study of Higgs particle, searches of SUSY particle and study of top quark physics. In the VBF Higgs production studies, ACC firstly applied MVA technique, which significantly improve the sensitivity of the analysis so that we observed the first evidence of VBF Higgs boson production in ATLAS experment. ACC firtly performed the analysis to search for SUSY particles in the di-tau final states which is sensitive to the stau particle searches, we also deeply involved in the SUSY search with one soft lepton final state. We played leading role in the above two SUSY analyses. ACC members are the editors of physics papers of the above Higgs and SUSY papers. ACC also made major contributions to the H->WW decays and top phsycis studies, including the single top production and top spin correlation measurements.
