Highlights from the annual maintenance of the CMS detector
The Year-End Technical Stop or YETS, when the LHC takes its annual break, seemed like a quiet time to those outside CERN.

Preparing for collisions – recommissioning the CMS detector
A new year with new energy and new luminosities: 2012 holds the promise to close the question on the existence (or absence) of a Standard Model Higgs boson.

Gearing towards upgrades
As high-energy particle physics pushes exploration at energy and luminosity frontiers, experiments are becoming increasingly complex – and this, in turn, drives the need for developments in particle detectors and their associated technologies.

Search for anomalous ttbar production in the highly-boosted all-hadronic final state
A search is presented for a massive particle, generically referred to as a Z′, decaying into a t-tbar pair.

Measurement of the Z/gamma*+b-jet cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
The production of b jets in association with a Z/γ* boson is studied using proton-proton collisions delivered by the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and recorded by the CMS detector.

New world record – first pp collisions at 8 TeV
CMS has just recorded the first collisions with stable beams at a world-record collision energy of 8 TeV.
