The measured cross-section ratio to a no-nuclear-effects baseline is 0.25, yielding a nuclear gluon suppression factor R_g^Pb of 0.55 at x ≈ 10^{-3} and μ² = 22.4 GeV².
CMS reports a simultaneous measurement of 25 N-subjettiness observables in 1-, 2-, and 3-prong jets, unfolded to stable particles with particle-level correlations for QCD modeling.
First evidence for ZZ gamma production at 3.7 sigma and observation of 4 lepton gamma at 5.0 sigma in CMS data at 13 TeV, with measured fiducial cross sections consistent with predictions.
No excess observed; first LHC search sets 95% CL upper limits on H to AA to 4e branching fraction down to 10^{-5} for 10-100 MeV masses and short lifetimes.
The ttbar production cross section in PbPb collisions at 5.36 TeV is measured as 3.42 +0.54-0.51 (stat) +0.50-0.43 (syst) μb and is consistent with NNLO pQCD predictions using nuclear PDFs.
No significant excess observed; 95% CL exclusion of higgsino electroweakinos with mass splittings 0.28-1.15 GeV and chargino masses up to 185 GeV using soft-track and neural-network selection.
CMS excludes κ_VV outside 0.40-1.60 at 95% CL and constrains κ_2W and κ_2Z using VBS events with a boosted Higgs to bb decay.
No significant excess observed in four-lepton events from heavy resonances, setting upper limits on production cross sections for dilepton masses 0.4-15 GeV using novel merged-object techniques.
CMS develops two multivariate models for identifying boosted dielectrons with γ_L > 20, reporting 80% efficiency for two-track cases from J/ψ data and 60% for single-track from Z conversions, plus an energy correction.
PaRT achieves >50% tagging efficiency for boosted H->WW jets at 1% background efficiency, decorrelated from jet mass, with data-to-simulation scale factors of 0.9-1.0 on 138 fb^{-1} of 13 TeV collisions.
No significant excess is observed in the first search for Higgs-to-SUEP decays with leptonic W or Z bosons; cross-section limits are set across SUEP model parameters.
Using low-momentum muon pairs and lepton-plus-track events, CMS finds no new physics and sets new exclusion limits on compressed Higgsinos, reaching 115 GeV at a 3.5 GeV splitting.
CMS implemented a particle-flow algorithm that reconstructs a complete list of final-state particles per collision, delivering superior performance for jets, hadronic taus, missing transverse momentum, and lepton identification up to 20 pileup interactions.
No evidence found for a new heavy scalar resonance X decaying to Higgs plus new scalar Y in the four-bottom-quark final state; 95% CL upper limits set on cross section times branching fraction.
No evidence found for light charged Higgs bosons in ttbar events; upper limits set on B(t to H±b) of 0.07-1.12% at 95% CL for masses 40-160 GeV assuming 100% decay to cs.
No evidence found; excludes semiclassical black holes below 8.4-11.4 TeV and string balls below 9.0-10.7 TeV at 95% CL, and caps the quark-quark sphaleron fraction above 9 TeV at 0.0034.
CMS sets an observed upper limit of 4.4 on the HH signal strength μ_HH in the 4b final state at 13.6 TeV, improving prior LHC results by more than a factor of two in the resolved topology.
New double-differential measurement of angular coefficients A0-A7 in Drell-Yan muon pair production in eight pT and two rapidity bins, compared to NNLO pQCD.
New upper limits exclude mediator masses up to 4.5 TeV for a 50 GeV dark Higgs and up to 2.5 TeV for 150 GeV in a spin-1 mediator dark matter model, the most stringent to date for these masses.
Combined LHC data shows no deviation from the standard model in single-photon plus missing momentum events, establishing the strongest limits to date on simplified dark matter models and large extra dimensions.
The CMS muon detector after upgrades performs to design specifications or better in 13 TeV collisions, with measurements of resolution, efficiency, and timing matching simulations.
