A close and complicated relationship: The top quark and the W boson intertwine
The CMS collaboration has examined for the first time the kinematic dependence of the production of a top quark and a W boson. This gives insight into the quantum interference of top quark production at the LHC and allows more accurate background predictions for searches for new particles.

Probing the Standard Model with a boson-boson collider
To investigate when the Standard Model will start breaking down, the CMS Experiment looks at extremely rare collisions where the Large Hadron Collider is working as a boson-boson collider. This can teach us more about the nature of the Higgs boson and the possibility of new particles and forces at energies beyond directly reachable by…

A disappearing act in CMS
New, undiscovered charged particles could be produced by the LHC, leaving tracks in CMS that look similar to tracks from Standard Model particles. If the new particle decays to other, unseen new particles inside the CMS tracker, a very striking signature would be observed: a ‘disappearing track’. CMS has carried out a new search for…

Using artificial intelligence to search for new exotic particles
Nowadays, artificial neural networks have an impact on many areas of our day-to-day lives. They are used for a wide variety of complex tasks, such as driving cars, performing speech recognition (for example, Siri, Cortana, Alexa), suggesting shopping items and trends, or improving visual effects in movies (e.g., animated characters such as Thanos from the…

Planning for years of luminosity measurements with BRIL
When the LHC is sending billions of protons at each other millions of times per second, it’s important to know just how many of them actually are colliding, both so that the LHC can optimize its operations to produce the most collisions possible, and as an important input to nearly any measurement that will be…
