The full collection of top quark mass measurements by the CMS experiment! 🗝

What’s the best way to pin down the exact mass of this enigmatic particle? Discover the diverse strategies perfected by CMS over the last decade:

When it comes to top quark mass measurements, the CMS collaborati on has the largest and most complete collection of publication-quality results, cov ering a wide range of methods and approaches. In a recent review paper, an overview is given of all top quark mass measurements published by CMS so far. In the quest to pin down the exact mass of this enigmatic particle, different methods were developed and perfected over the last decade.

Even a cave that’s been closed to the public for three decades can’t escape the reach of microplastic particles.

A proposed approach to detect Majorana fermions in Kitaev spin liquids by using scanning tunneling microscopy could lead to the unambiguous confirmation of both the spin-liquid state and its Majorana zero modes.

For years, C130 fullertubes—molecules made up of 130 carbon atoms—have existed only in theory. Now, leading an international team of scientists, a UdeM doctoral student in physics has successfully shown them in real life—and even managed to capture some in a photograph.
