Nobody knows what new physics will look like
For decades, we’ve searched for new physics signatures predicted by theorists. But what if we searched for events that simply look strange?

Chasing dark matter with mysterious electron pairs
The CMS experiment performs the first collider search for “inelastic dark matter” in the case where dark-matter particles travel a measurable distance before decaying into a pair of low-momentum electrons.

When rare decays enter the precision era
One of the unique features of the weak interaction is its ability to transform one quark flavor into another.

A new chapter for the CMS Drift Tubes
After years of effort to imagine, design, develop, build, and coordinate, a new chapter for the CMS Drift Tubes has finally begun!

A needle in the pileup: CMS revives diffractive physics with tagged protons
For the first time at the LHC, W and Z bosons and TeV-scale jets are seen alongside a proton that survived the collision intact, reopening a chapter of forward physics that high pileup had closed.

The W boson’s simplest decay into hadrons
The CMS experiment utilises proton–proton collision data collected between 2016 and 2026 to search for rare decays of the W boson into three charged hadrons.

How to catch subatomic particles wakeboarding in the universe’s most perfect liquid
The hottest, densest, and most perfect fluid in the universe has a behaviour surprisingly similar to water rippling around a speedboat.

Four gets you more: understanding the strong force with four-way energy correlations
The strong nuclear force is the most mysterious of the four fundamental forces of nature.
