Casting Light on the Dark Sector
Physicists have been searching for new particles that would show up in the form of two jets for over twenty years. Such new particles could turn out to be messengers of dark matter, unlocking its secrets. Competing models exist which are trying to understand the unknown nature of dark matter and exploring their predicted consequences,…

New for Moriond: Quarks: The Next Generation?
Since the discoveries of the third generation of quarks and leptons starting in the 1970s, physicists have asked the natural question “Can there be more generations?”.

New for Moriond: Catching disappearing particles
Over the past century, physicists have developed a theory governing the fundamental interactions of elementary particles, known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

New for Moriond: Higgs does not yet show rare decays into quarkonium pairs
The Standard Model of particle physics asserts that the Higgs boson generates the mass of all fundamental particles.

New for Moriond: First measurement of the effect of virtual Higgs bosons on top quarks
After the discovery of the Higgs boson, CMS observed its interaction with some standard model particles like the bottom and top quark, the tau lepton, and the W and Z boson.

LHC beam pipe to be mined for monopoles
In February, the CMS and MoEDAL collaborations at CERN signed an agreement to hand over to MoEDAL a section of the LHC beam pipe that was located inside CMS between 2008 and 2013. The delicate object, 6 metres long and made of beryllium, will now be sliced and fed into a highly precise magnetic sensors…
