  The CMS experiment uses data collected between 2016 and 2026 to observe, for the first time, leptons (electrons and muons) emitted from protons scattering off one another. Since the first high-energy proton colliders began operating more than…

  CMS advances the study of Higgs boson’s self-interaction by searching for Higgs boson pairs decaying into bottom quark–antiquark and tau lepton–antilepton pairs in collisions recorded between 2022 and 2024. Is the Standard Model (SM) the…

CMS probes the highest-energy lepton pairs ever recorded to search for hints pointing to a Higgs boson made of smaller constituents. Is the Higgs boson truly an elementary particle, or could it be composed of more fundamental constituents? This…

  A special test run, with more than twice as many near-simultaneous collisions as usual, allowed CMS to test new methods of tracking and identifying particles, years before the upgraded High-Luminosity LHC comes online. For a few days during…
