  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…

  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. When heavy ions such as…
