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 determination of Higgs boson production rate as a function of quantities like Higgs boson momentum, emission direction, and number of associated jets. The jump in precision is obtained by combining various Higgs decay channels (γγ, ZZ, WW, ττ). This study is a sort of microscope that could zoom in on new physics effects, normally too small to be seen, but relatively larger in size when we focus on Higgs bosons produced at high energy.

We use a highly pure sample of top quarks as a laboratory to study the fundamental properties of the standard model, which might not hold at large collision energy. In TOP-22-011 we look for signs of lepton flavour violation in top production and decay; lepton flavour conservation is a rigid property of the standard model that has been rigorously observed in past experiments, meaning any violation would be indicative of physics beyond the standard model. In SMP-24-009, we isolate a pure sample of W bosons from top-quark decays to deliver the most precise measurement to date of the W boson decay rate to quarks. We benefit from the large cross-section of top quark-antiquark production, which offers a sizable, high-purity sample of W bosons suitable for this measurement.

Several new results exploit data collected during the ongoing Run 3, highlighting the increasing focus of CMS on this new data sample. These include the measurements of inclusive and differential Higgs boson production cross sections at 13.6 TeV in the H → γγ decay channel (HIG-23-014) and in the H → ZZ → 4l decay channel (HIG-24-013), as well as the measurement of the inclusive WZ production cross section using the LHC Run3 (SMP-24-005).

On Flavour Physics (Beauty and Charm)
We report a study of the ratio of the Bc+ → J/ψτ+ντ and Bc+ → J/ψμ+νμ branching fractions using three-prong τ lepton decays to test lepton flavour universality (BPH-23-001). This study follows similar work by other experiments, which highlighted hints of deviation from the standard model prediction. Our result, obtained by combining this new measurement with our previous BPH-22-012, is compatible with the standard model expectation.

Exploiting an innovative high-rate dimuon trigger deployed for Run 3, we present the most sensitive search for the rare decay D0 → μ+μ− (BPH-23-008).  Rare charm quark decays, less explored than rare bottom quark decays, offer a unique way to probe for new physics effects beyond the reach of modern colliders.

On Searches
We present the search for heavy scalar resonances decaying to a pair of Z bosons in the 4-lepton final state (HIG-24-002). This search is performed in a model-independent way over a mass range of the heavy scalar from 130 GeV to 3 TeV, considering a wide range of width scenarios. Given its strong sensitivity and the lack of signs of new particles, our study excludes previous claims of a possible second Higgs boson in the mass range 650-680 GeV.

We perform a statistical combination of several searches for Supersymmetry using the whole LHC Run 2 data. The combination is interpreted in terms of a 19-parameter scan of the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (SUS-24-004). This study provides a global picture of how current CMS searches challenge the so-called “natural SUSY” explanation of the open issues with the Standard Model (lack of an explanation for dark matter, instability of the Higgs boson mass, etc.) pushing the allowed mass range for squarks and gluinos above the TeV scale. This study still leaves behind a few unexplored challenging corners where SUSY particle masses are compressed in a small range. We then challenge these corners with a general search, using a dedicated reconstruction technique called Recursive Jigsaw (SUS-23-003), one of the most advanced techniques for SUSY particle reconstruction at the LHC. This analysis extends our sensitivity to the pair production of electroweakinos, sleptons, and top squarks in these compressed-mass scenarios.

On Heavy Ions
In heavy ion collisions, we study quark-gluon plasma (QGP) looking at how it modifies the properties of quark and gluon jets travelling through it. In HIN-23-004 we study the imprint of the QGP on the jet, using the same technique adopted in cosmology to study the dark matter imprint on the cosmic microwave background. In HIN-21-019 we look at jets recoiling against a photon (which is transparent to QGP, as it does not feel the strong force) to study how the QGP deviates the jet trajectory with respect to the photon one (they are supposed to be back to back). Both studies provide new tools to improve our understanding of QGP dynamics

On Artificial Intelligence
At ICHEP, CMS presents the first data collected by an AI agent acting as a trigger. An autoencoder is trained on data to learn the typical look of LHC collision. Looking at these data, this neural network learns to quantify the probability that a given collision is typical. This network is then translated into an electronic circuit deployed on a special kind of chip (an FPGA). At work in the CMS L1 trigger, the AI agent sees all the events and decides to store only events that have a probability of less than 1 in 10000 to happen. The translation is performed using hls4ml, a software tool developed by CERN and its partners for this purpose (but also being used in studies related to automotive, ocean monitoring from satellites, etc.).
