We review key measurements performed by CMS in the context of its heavy ion physics
program, using event samples collected in 2010–2018 with several collision systems and …

High-energy cosmic rays are observed indirectly by detecting the extensive air showers
initiated in Earth's atmosphere. The interpretation of these observations relies on accurate …

The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC
are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the …

Medium induced parton energy loss is not conclusively established either in very peripheral
heavy-ion collisions or in proton-ion collisions. However, the standard interpretation of …

Hot QCD physics studies the nuclear strong force under extreme temperature and densities.
Experimentally these conditions are achieved via high-energy collisions of heavy ions at the …

We report results of a comprehensive global $\chi^ 2$ analysis of nuclear collision data from
RHIC (0.2 ATeV), LHC1 (2.76 ATeV), and recent LHC2 (5.02 ATeV) energies using the …

We demonstrate that oxygen-oxygen collisions at the LHC provide unprecedented sensitivity
to parton energy loss in a system whose size is comparable to those created in very …

A bstract This paper presents measurements of charged-hadron spectra obtained in pp, p+
Pb, and Pb+ Pb collisions at\(\sqrt {s}\) or\(\sqrt {s_ {\textrm {NN}}}\)= 5. 02 TeV, and in Xe+ …

After almost two decades of investigation, jet quenching has become a fundamental tool to
study the properties of the QCD matter produced in high-energy nuclear collisions. Despite …

We study the suppressions of high transverse momentum single hadron and dihadron
productions in high-energy heavy-ion collisions based on the framework of a next-to-leading …
