The CMS experiment studies the Higgs boson as a potential window into dark matter, and sets constraints on this mechanism, which gives rise to isotropic sprays of low-energy particles.
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) describes the strong…

The ratios of the B meson production fractions have been measured for the first time in the CMS experiment.
B mesons are composite particles consisting of a bottom antiquark and another type of quark, such as an up, down, or strange quark,…

CMS discovers associated production of a Z boson and an ϒ meson.
At the CMS experiment, we have observed for the first time an exceptionally rare process: the associated production of a Z boson with an ϒ(1S) meson, the lightest bound state of…
