Double the doublet, shake well, break one, and keep the other intact: welcome, dark scalars!
For the first time ever, the CMS experiment has designed a dedicated analysis using parametrised machine learning to look for new dark particles that don’t socialize with Standard Model fermions, one of them being a favourite candidate in the search for dark matter.

First measurements of vector boson scattering at 13.6 TeV
The CMS Collaboration reports the first measurements of the production of same-sign WW and WZ boson pairs in association with two jets at 13.6 TeV, using data collected during 2022–2024. One of the most powerful probes of the Higgs mechanism and the electroweak force is a rare process known as vector boson scattering (VBS).

CMS gets acquainted with a family of all-charm tetraquarks
Upon close inspection, the tetraquark family members are consistent with tightly bound diquark pairs The CMS Collaboration has identified three extremely rare same-flavor teraquark states and determined, based on their spin-parity configuration, that they are consistent with a diquark-antidiquark model.
