The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is designed to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for the Higgs boson, extra dimensions, and particles that could make up dark matter. Although it has the same scientific goals as the ATLAS experiment, it uses different technical solutions and a different magnet-system design.

Shaking the box for new physics
The CMS collaboration has searched for new physics in a rare decay of a known particle, using an approach that can be likened to shaking a box containing a birthday present to find a clue about what’s inside
