  • Looking for early vacuum-like emissions in jets in heavy ion collisions

    Looking for early vacuum-like emissions in jets in heavy ion collisions

    CMS explores the early stages of jet evolution in heavy-ion collisions When heavy ions such as lead (Pb) collide in the LHC, a new state of matter called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is formed.

  • Broken mirrors: Do top quarks and Z bosons defy charge-inversion and reflection symmetry?

    Broken mirrors: Do top quarks and Z bosons defy charge-inversion and reflection symmetry?

    For the first time, the CMS experiment has employed physics-informed machine learning to observe whether the laws of physics still hold true when top quarks and Z bosons are replaced with their antiparticles and space is reflected.
