The CMS collaboration is presenting over 25 new results at the 39th International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP 2018) taking place in Seoul, South Korea from July 4th-July 11th, 2018. A key highlight is a comprehensive combination of…

Do you remember where you were on July 4th, 2012? If you are an American, perhaps it's not so difficult to recall that day. You might have been enjoying a barbecue with your friends and family to celebrate the national Independence Day. For others,…

The CMS collaboration continues with its rich harvesting of the large Run 2 dataset with 21 new results presented at the LHCP 2018 conference in Bologna, Italy. The results cover a wide assortment of topics and range from precision measurements of…

The first observation of the simultaneous production of a Higgs boson with a top quark-antiquark pair is being published today in the journal Physical Review Letters (PRL). This major milestone, first reported by the CMS Collaboration in early April…

Can machine learning assist high-energy physics in discovering and characterising new particles? Physicists from the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations have just launched the TrackML challenge– your chance to develop new machine learning…

The CMS collaboration came to this year’s Quark Matter conference with fourteen new results, never shown before, and five other results recently submitted for publication. The majority of them exploit the high luminosity 8.16 TeV pPb, and 5.02 TeV…

Observation of ttH production   The observation of a Higgs boson in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider marked the starting point of a broad experimental program to determine the properties of the newly discovered particle. In the standard model…

The Year-End Technical Stop (YETS) has been especially busy for CMS. In December 2017, part of the new pixel tracker installed in early 2017 was brought to a clean room on the surface at Point 5 to begin consolidation works in preparation…

Analysis of the large dataset delivered by the LHC in Run 2 continues with more than 25 new results from the CMS collaboration presented at the 2018 Rencontres de Moriond conference. Most of these results will be published shortly and will add to…

This article was originally published at CERN EP Newsletter. The CMS Phase-2 Upgrade projects will replace or improve detector systems to provide the necessary physics performance under the challenging conditions of high luminosity at the HL-LHC.…
