Summer is here! The CMS Collaboration is participating in conferences throughout July and August, presenting on recent studies. Make sure to check back here as this page will be updated with the latest news as we move through the summer months.  …

It was 1918 when the mathematician Emmy Noether published what is known as her most famous theorem, revealing the fundamental relation between the symmetries of a physical system and the laws enforcing the conservation of some of its characteristic…

Three-jet event with an invariant mass of 7.2 TeV, showing the jets (yellow cones) and the energy deposited in the electromagnetic (green) and hadron (blue) calorimeters. With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the Standard Model of particle physics…

  In 2012, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations observed a new boson with a mass of 125 GeV, whose properties are compatible with those of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However, numerous models beyond the SM (…

The CMS Collaboration has recently reported a new study of ZZ+jets production, a process described by the Standard Model of particle physics. The goal of such measurements is to compare the observed results with the theoretical predictions; any…

  CMS presented a series of new results at the annual LHCP conference, which took place in Belgrade, Serbia.  The LHCP conference provides a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results related to the physics of the Large…

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 marked a significant milestone in particle physics. Since then, researchers at the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have been diligently investigating its properties and probing for rare production and decay…

The standard model (SM) of particle physics is by far the most successful theory describing the experimental observations of particle interactions. Most of the SM interactions preserve the “flavor” of the elementary particles, with the exception of…

The top quark is now a full grown adult - it’s been almost 30 years since its discovery at Fermilab! - and being the heaviest brick of the Standard Model it plays a big part in the Universe. It is a bit like a celebrity in the world of particle…

In the thrilling world of particle physics, our mission at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to explore the mysteries of the universe by conducting experiments and pushing the boundaries of the Standard Model (SM). The SM is a wonderful theoretical…

Bosons are elementary particles in the field of particle physics, distinguished by having a spin quantum number with an integer value. They play a crucial role in mediating the fundamental forces of nature, including the electromagnetic force and…

The standard model (SM) of particle physics, is the most successful theory describing the behaviour of elementary particles and their interactions. However, the SM has a few serious shortcomings, such as the Higgs boson mass problem. The mass of the…
