In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

Top quark data may encode quantum magic, but the closer scientists look, the more selection, modeling, and proof matter every time ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle ...

The CMS collaboration have used advanced machine learning techniques to search for new particles in jets produced by proton-proton collisions at the LHC A proton-proton collision producing multiple ...

CMS scientists are analyzing the first dataset gathered through a new tool designed to search for long-lived particles. Since the 1960s, scientists have discovered more than a dozen fundamental ...
