What do you do when you would like to play the newest computer game on your old computer, but the game is too demanding for your hardware? You own the previous version of the game and it was fun, but over the years it has grown long in the…

  The study of the Higgs boson is one of the main goals of the physics program of the CMS experiment. The data collected up to now at the LHC helped us to refine our understanding of the Higgs mechanism, which is responsible for the generation…

  The completion of the standard model (SM) with the discovery of the Higgs boson stands as a resounding success in the world of particle physics. However, significant questions remain unanswered, such as the nature of dark matter (DM), and the…

  Top quarks are the heaviest known elementary particles, as heavy as a tungsten atom. In high energy proton proton collisions at the LHC about 10 pairs of a top quark and its antiparticle are produced every second. But they are not here to…

  Recent observations from experiments worldwide have reported anomalies in the decays of a bottom quark to a charm quark, a charged lepton (electron, muon, or tau), and the corresponding neutrino. These observations hint at possible deviations…

  In 2012, the discovery of the Higgs boson marked a milestone in particle physics. It validated the standard model (SM) and unlocked new avenues of exploration. In 2022, the Higgs boson turned ten and the CMS experiment now presents a new…

CMS has released 37 new results for the ICHEP 2024. These results cover the full spectrum of the CMS physics program, including a few relevant highlights. On Higgs boson and Standard Model Measurements In HIG-23-013, we present the most precise…

How to manage large amounts of data without losing any interesting ones? The selection of data concerning particle collisions in the LHC is critical since it will determine all the resulting analyses. This is the decisive work of a novel scouting…

Starting in 2029, the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will provide much higher collision intensities to the ATLAS and CMS experiments, with up to 200 concurrent collisions (or pileup) per bunch crossing expected. This will create very complicated…

Since the year 2000, the CMS Collaboration has recognised industry partners who've played a crucial role in building the experiment. The CMS Gold Award acknowledges companies that consistently deliver high-quality components, meeting deadlines and…

The CMS Collaboration is thrilled to announce that laureates of the 2023 CMS PhD Thesis Award are Jona Motta, Christopher Edward Brown, and Spandan Mondal. This award recognizes exceptional doctoral research within the collaboration that pushes the…
