Top quarks follow expectations at 5 TeV
Following its mission to address fundamental questions about Nature, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has operated at different center-of-mass energies, colliding protons and/or heavy ions.

CMS releases 13 TeV proton collision data from 2016
The CMS experiment at CERN is proud to announce the first release of 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected in 2016. Over 70 TB of 13 TeV collision data and 830 TB of corresponding simulations are now accessible to the global scientific community and enthusiasts alike through the CERN Open Data Portal.

Towards a new precision era in the study of electroweak interactions
A fundamental parameter of the Standard Model, the electroweak mixing angle plays a key role in the “Higgs mechanism”, when the W and Z gauge bosons get their masses through electroweak symmetry breaking.

Mapping Uncharted Territory: CMS Reviews Searches for Dark Matter
Cosmological observations tell us that Dark Matter makes up roughly 80% of all the matter in the Universe.

Reproducing the CMS logo with J/ψ decays to four muons
The J/ψ meson, a remarkable particle simultaneously discovered by two independent experiments in 1974, has a unique place in the world of experimental particle physics.

Tau or Muon, what’s your favourite gelato scoop?
If you have ever had Neapolitan gelato, you know how important it is to combine three different flavours, each in just the right size.

Is charm the new beauty?
The discovery of the Higgs boson (H), particularly with its decay into two electroweak gauge bosons WW and ZZ, marked a milestone in particle physics.

A rich collection of top quark mass measurements by the CMS experiment
When it comes to top quark mass measurements, the CMS collaboration has the largest and most complete collection of publication-quality results, covering a wide range of methods and approaches.

Same LHC, same CMS, more physics
A new CMS paper describes how the CMS experiment can squeeze more physics out of the LHC data by using smarter data selection/reduction techniques.

CMS fired a shot to heavy Higgs particles… and the gun is smoking
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been a cornerstone of our understanding of the subatomic realm, providing precise predictions, many of which have been tested by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC.
