  CMS observes collective motion of particles in light-ion collisions, providing robust evidence of how initial nuclear geometry maps to final-state flow. For the first time, the CMS experiment has measured how particles flow in collisions of…

  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…

  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…

  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…

Build your own CMS detector at home! Well… sort of! Perhaps it won’t function just as well as the real deal, but you can keep a little model of it with you to gaze at, use it to help others visualise what the detector looks like, or keep it front…

  Turning the LHC into a photon collider, the CMS experiment observes for the first time how two photons fuse and convert into two W bosons. Stringent limits are set on parameters that would describe possible deviations from the standard…

  In a first search of its kind at the LHC, the CMS experiment looks for light beyond-the-standard-model particles with a mass in the GeV range that decay into charged hadrons and muons. It establishes that if they exist, they would be produced…

  The CMS experiment announces several new results for the Lepton-Photon 2025 conference. A major highlight is the high-precision measurement of the integrated luminosity. With an uncertainty of 0.73%, this is the most precise luminosity…

  In a much anticipated result, the CMS experiment presents the legacy combination of Higgs boson studies using the full LHC Run 2 data, recorded between 2016 and 2018 – the result is the most precise and comprehensive measurement of the Higgs…
