Triple Treat! CMS observes production of three massive vector bosons
The CMS collaboration has released the first observation of the simultaneous production of three W or Z bosons in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

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…

What do we already know?
The standard package The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists over the past century have resulted in a remarkable insight into the fundamental structure of matter: everything that has been directly observed in the Universe until now has been found to be made from twelve basic building blocks called fundamental particles, governed by four…
