Hunting for supersymmetry with tau leptons
The standard model (SM) of particle physics, is the most successful theory describing the behaviour of elementary particles and their interactions.

A fractal tree of quarks and gluons
Quarks and gluons are the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are in turn the building blocks of the nucleus of every atom.

Using top quarks to probe nature’s secrets
The standard model of particle physics (SM) is one of the most precise theories ever conceived, capable of predicting certain quantities with up to 14 digits of precision.

CMS observes four-top quark production
CMS observed the simultaneous production of four top quarks, one of the rarest physics processes ever observed at the LHC, opening the door to detailed searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).

CMS observes a potential family of tetra-quark states composed only of charm quarks
For over two millennia, people have wondered about the diversity of the material world, asking questions like “what are things made of?”.

Future thinking: CMS Upgrade Days
Last month the CMS Collaboration gathered at CERN for the CMS Upgrade Days: three full days focused on the evolution of our detector in preparation for the High-Luminosity era at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

What the eta meson does when no one’s looking
The amount of data that CMS has collected so far is truly astounding, thanks to the very large number of proton-proton collisions that the LHC has provided, over more than a decade, and to the large rate of events that CMS can record.
