The CMS detector, illustrated in Fig. 1, is centred around the largest and highest granularity silicon tracker ever built, including around twenty thousand detector units structured in thin cylindrical layers that extend over nearly 6 metres along…
The CMS Collaboration probes decays of the Z boson which would defy our expectations of lepton behavior
How strict are Nature's conservation laws governing the interactions among elementary particles? Physicists once assumed, based on experience…
CMS sees evidence of the Upsilon meson decaying into two tau leptons for the first time at a hadron collider
Beyond our best current understanding of particle physics, encapsulated in the standard model, various theoretical models predict the…
