CMS physicist Dr Jennifer Ngadiuba wins the IUPAP C11 Early Career Award 2024. This prestigious award honours two early career scientists for their excellence in the field of Particles and Fields during the biannual ICHEP conference. Congratulations…

  Our current understanding of the nature of elementary particles and their interactions is encapsulated in what is known as the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Particles and interactions introduced in the SM have been measured with…

  What do you do when you would like to play the newest computer game on your old computer, but the game is too demanding for your hardware? You own the previous version of the game and it was fun, but over the years it has grown long in the…

  The study of the Higgs boson is one of the main goals of the physics program of the CMS experiment. The data collected up to now at the LHC helped us to refine our understanding of the Higgs mechanism, which is responsible for the generation…

  The completion of the standard model (SM) with the discovery of the Higgs boson stands as a resounding success in the world of particle physics. However, significant questions remain unanswered, such as the nature of dark matter (DM), and the…

  Top quarks are the heaviest known elementary particles, as heavy as a tungsten atom. In high energy proton proton collisions at the LHC about 10 pairs of a top quark and its antiparticle are produced every second. But they are not here to…

  Recent observations from experiments worldwide have reported anomalies in the decays of a bottom quark to a charm quark, a charged lepton (electron, muon, or tau), and the corresponding neutrino. These observations hint at possible deviations…

  In 2012, the discovery of the Higgs boson marked a milestone in particle physics. It validated the standard model (SM) and unlocked new avenues of exploration. In 2022, the Higgs boson turned ten and the CMS experiment now presents a new…

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…

How to manage large amounts of data without losing any interesting ones? The selection of data concerning particle collisions in the LHC is critical since it will determine all the resulting analyses. This is the decisive work of a novel scouting…

Starting in 2029, the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will provide much higher collision intensities to the ATLAS and CMS experiments, with up to 200 concurrent collisions (or pileup) per bunch crossing expected. This will create very complicated…
