The heavy ion Run has just concluded, marking the start of the extended year-end technical stop (EYETS). Reflecting on 2024, this year’s LHC Run exceeded expectations, delivering the highest accumulated data volume to date.
The CMS Collaboration announced the 2024 Young Researcher Prize winners during the opening plenary of December’s CMS Week: Silvio Donato, Kenneth Long, and Stella Orfanelli.
In a first measurement of its kind at the LHC, the CMS experiment tests whether top quarks adhere to Einstein’s special theory of relativity, and improves the bounds on noncompliance by up to a factor of one hundred with respect to previous results.

In a massive step toward CMS’ High-Luminosity era detector, a key component of the build has arrived at the CERN laboratories.
In November 2014, CMS made history by releasing its first batch of open data, comprising approximately 27 terabytes of proton-proton collision data collected in 2010 at a 7 TeV center-of-mass energy.

This result is not a sprint, it is a marathon. How the teams behind the measurement of the W-boson mass at the CMS experiment found working on this result, almost a decade in the making.
CMS develops and deploys a new machine-learning technique based on neural networks that is able to spot existing and developing anomalies in the functioning of the detector.
On Friday, October 4th, 2024, the CMS Collaboration organised an in-person event at Point 5 for the residents of the Pays de Gex, France, where the CMS detector is located.
