  • CMS observes rare top quark interaction with a W and a Z boson

    CMS observes rare top quark interaction with a W and a Z boson

    Using data collected from 2016 to 2023 and cutting-edge machine learning, CMS observes for the first time the creation of a top quark together with a W and a Z boson – a process so rare it occurs only once in a trillion proton-proton collisions!

  • How CMS records all 40 million events per second

    How CMS records all 40 million events per second

    The CMS experiment is utilising a novel technique called L1 Scouting, which allows it to record data from all collisions, without any selection, but in a reduced format.

  • Collective motion in tiny systems: oxygen and neon collisions as a window into nuclear structure

    Collective motion in tiny systems: oxygen and neon collisions as a window into nuclear structure

    CMS observes collective motion of particles in light-ion collisions, providing robust evidence of how initial nuclear geometry maps to final-state flow.

  • LHC’s first oxygen collisions – CMS spots signs of small-scale quark-gluon plasma

    LHC’s first oxygen collisions – CMS spots signs of small-scale quark-gluon plasma

    CMS scientists study the first-ever oxygen-oxygen collisions at the LHC, and observe signs of quarks and gluons losing energy when they travel through quark-gluon plasma – a state that existed just after the Big Bang.
