"Exploring New Particles: The Large Hadron Collider's Ongoing Search"

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are expanding their search for new particles by updating the trigger of the CMS detector to scout for long-lived particles that can travel before decaying into more stable byproducts. This effort aims to address the limitations of the Standard Model and potentially provide insights into phenomena such as dark matter. The updated trigger system has significantly improved the sensitivity of the searches, and scientists are currently analyzing a new dataset in hopes of finding new particles or setting more stringent limits on long-lived particles.

"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.
