Leptons Popping out of Thin Air
Physicists at the CMS experiment have been searching for new particles in exciting new places. In a recently published paper, they explore the possibility that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) could be producing never-before-seen particles that travel into the CMS detector before transforming into known particles. And because no one knows for sure what undiscovered…

Increased confidence for the Higgs boson coupling to the charm quark
CMS experiment recently made a new measurement of Higgs boson coupling strength to the charm quark, putting the best constraint so far on the anomalous value compared to the prediction from the standard model. Using the complete data volume of Run 2, and using state-of-the-art techniques of machine learning aptly, the scientist developed a very…

[CMS Stories] From curious physics student to become a Detector person
Becoming a doctor was my dream since I was 6 years old, that’s why I chose biology in high school, however, I was also curious about physics and I decided to take that class also.

Real time analysis with the CMS Level-1 Trigger
The challenge of Run3: CMS is preparing to resume its operations for the Run-3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after a 3-year long shutdown called LS2 (2019-2021).

Sensing the invisible Higgs at the LHC
One of the fundamental puzzles we face today is the dark matter (the dunkle materie, as called by the Swiss physicist Fritz Zwicky back in 1933) in the universe.

Does the top quark respect all the leptons equally?
The word lepton comes from the Greek λεπτός (leptós,) meaning “small”; the electrically charged leptons (electrons, muons, and taus) have much smaller masses than their counterparts in the quark sector.
