First ever oxygen and neon LHC collisions are studied by CMS
This year, the LHC is colliding more than protons and lead ions: oxygen and neon have also made it into the collider, and are being studied by CMS and the other LHC experiments in order to understand the early universe!

The Weak Mixing of Light and Heavy
The source of energy for most of the life on our planet originates from proton-proton collisions at the core of the Sun, which occur at an energy (or temperature) about a billion times less than the collision energy of the LHC.

Measurement of the Differential Cross Section for Isolated Prompt Photon Production in pp Collisions at 7 TeV
Read the paper: QCD-10-037 This paper extends CMS’s previous measurements of the production rates of isolated prompt photons.

Measurement of the Drell–Yan Cross Section in pp Collisions at 7 TeV
Read the paper: QCD-10-037 The measured Drell-Yan production rates, normalised to the production rates in the Z-boson region, show good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

First Z bosons detected by CMS in heavy-ion collisions
Z bosons produced in collisions of heavy ions have been observed for the first time by the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
