The heavy ion data taking nominally started on November 4 with some proton-proton reference runs and by now, November 14, has reached about half point. While we have seen a good start, neither the provided luminosity nor the refilling of…
CMS has a rich heavy-ion physics program covering measurement of jet quenching, quarkonium suppression, heavy flavor, flow correlations, and forward physics. Many of the physics goals involve rare probes of the quark-gluon plasma that rely on large data samples. The…
The SM@LHC conference, held May 7-10, 2024 in Rome, dealt with the latest developments and future prospects in standard model phenomenology at the LHC, with emphasis on the most interesting and topical aspects at the interface between theory and experiment.…
The first CMS week of 2024 took place during the second week of February, Monday 5th to Friday 9th. It was a rather busy week with a full agenda including a large number of plenary and parallel sessions. CMS is…
This year’s summer CMS week was very busy on several fronts: Run 2 analyses (believe it or not), Run 3 startup issues, and Phase-II upgrade developments. In the past months the collaboration became aware of several issues with the 2022…
