Dark matter and pencil jets: The search for a low-mass Z’ boson using machine learning
The CMS experiment conducts the first search for dark matter particles produced in association with an energetic narrow jet—the pencil jet.

Mind the gap! Top quark pairs with W bosons continue to defy the latest predictions
In a recent measurement, the CMS experiment confirms a slight but persistent disagreement between the simulated and the observed rates of events in which a top quark pair is produced accompanied by a W boson.

Shiny top quarks: what happens when top quarks emit light?
The CMS experiment has conducted a comprehensive study of the rates of production of top quark pairs created along with a photon, both inclusively and as a function of several kinematic variables.

The Higgs boson as a window into dark matter
The CMS experiment studies the Higgs boson as a potential window into dark matter, and sets constraints on this mechanism, which gives rise to isotropic sprays of low-energy particles.

Hunting the heavy Z: Searching for a new Z boson by studying hadronic decays of top quark pairs
The CMS experiment has conducted a search for heavy beyond-standard-model particles (referred to as a Z′ boson) that give rise to a top quark-antiquark pair decaying into hadrons.

CMS at Moriond 2025
The CMS Collaboration announces 50 new results for Moriond 2025. In Higgs physics, following a comprehensive research program aimed at characterizing the Higgs boson by measuring its properties and interactions across various decay and production channels, CMS has performed an extensive combination of these measurements.

Peeking inside the proton: the story of Z+ϒ
CMS discovers associated production of a Z boson and an ϒ meson.

The “Large Photon Collider”: CMS observes scattering of light by light at the LHC
CMS scientists discover some of the rarest collisions that the LHC can produce – such as the scattering of light by light – and learn more about the quantum nature of electromagnetism, search for new particles, and much more.
