CMS Industry and Partner Gold Awards 2024
The CMS Collaboration is proud to announce the recipients of the 2024 Industry and Partner Awards, which recognise the vital contributions of our partners in advancing the experiment's capabilities.
Double the Higgs, double the mystery! The hunt for a new, heavy particle decaying to a pair of Higgs bosons
CMS scientists are on the hunt for a new, heavy particle that decays into a pair of Higgs bosons. Using the final state with two bottom quarks and two tau leptons, the search sets the most stringent limits to date in the mass range 1.4–4.5 TeV.
CMS Ph.D. Thesis Award Winners 2024
It's with great pride that the CMS Collaboration announces the winners of the 2024 CMS PhD Thesis Award. After a rigorous evaluation of a remarkable pool of 19 nominees, we are delighted to honour Congqiao Li, Christina Wenlu Wang, and Ho Fung Tsoi for their exceptional work.
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
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.
CMS at the Initial Stages 2025 conference
At the Initial Stages conference, CMS announces first brand new results based on the recent oxygen-oxygen and neon-neon collision data.
When light turns into weak heavy bosons
Turning the LHC into a photon collider, the CMS experiment observes for the first time how two photons fuse and convert into two W bosons. Stringent limits are set on parameters that would describe possible deviations from the standard model.
