How charming is the Higgs boson?
The CMS collaboration has carried out for the first time a direct search for a Higgs boson decaying into charm quarks, a vital step in understanding the Higgs particle and the Standard Model.

CMS members recognised by 2019 Young Experimental Physicist Prize from the European Physical Society
Each year, The European Physical Society (EPS)* recognizes outstanding work by one or more young physicists (under the age of 35) in the field of Particle Physics and/or Particle Astrophysics with the Young Experimental Physicist Prize.This year, two EPS prizes for young scientists in the field of particle physics have been awarded.

A boson-boson collider hiding inside proton-proton collisions
Not many people know that there is a boson-boson collider hiding in the proton-proton collisions of the Large Hadron Collider.

Enhancing the Missing Momentum Microscope
The CMS Collaboration has recently presented an updated search for new invisible particles. The technique capitalizes on the imbalance among the visible particles in a collision that such an object would induce. If dark matter is made of fundamental particles, these could reveal themselves in just this way.

It`s never too late for photons at CMS!
New physics may show up at the LHC in the form of yet unobserved particles which travel inside the detector before decaying, far from the point in space where they were produced. If these particles decay to photons, at CMS we can use the short but measurable time these photons move through the detector to…

New ways to approach the most classical search for new particles
At the EPS-HEP conference this week the CMS collaboration presents new results of a powerful search that is motivated by a variety of new physics models that predict a signature of a bump in the production of the most frequently produced particles at the LHC, quarks and gluons. All the available collision data collected in…

The two most massive quarks put the spotlight on the Higgs boson
The CMS collaboration has recently released new results on how the top quark and Higgs boson interact, and this required a much deeper understanding of the production of top quarks together with bottom quarks.
