"Exploring the Quantum World: CMS Collaboration at CERN's Search for 'Dark Photons'"

The CMS collaboration at CERN has presented its latest search for "dark photons" using data from Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider. Dark photons are exotic long-lived particles that are not part of the Standard Model of particle physics. The study focuses on the possibility of dark photon production in the decay of Higgs bosons. The CMS team has refined their trigger system to search for these particles, allowing them to collect more events and explore new regions where long-lived particles may be hiding. The search for physics beyond the Standard Model continues as researchers analyze the data from Run 3.
