The CMS experiment has analyzed the first-ever neon-neon collisions, looking for signs of quark-gluon plasma. By comparing these results with data from oxygen-oxygen, xenon-xenon, and lead-lead collisions, physicists find an interesting patter…

  CMS scientists study the first-ever oxygen-oxygen collisions at the LHC, and observe signs of quarks and gluons losing energy when they travel through quark-gluon plasma – a state that existed just after the Big Bang. When heavy ions such as l…

  At the Initial Stages conference, CMS announces first brand new results based on the recent oxygen-oxygen and neon-neon collision data. The new data offers unique opportunities to study the collective phenomena and initial-state effects in hig…
