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 …

We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is predicted to occur as a consequence of a local violation
of P and CP symmetries of the strong interaction amidst a strong electromagnetic field …

We present the results of an improved Monte Carlo Glauber (MCG) model of relevance for
collisions involving nuclei at center-of-mass energies of the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion …

We introduce the concepts of participant triangularity and triangular flow in heavy-ion
collisions, analogous to the definitions of participant eccentricity and elliptic flow. The …

We quantitatively estimate properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultrarelativistic
heavy-ion collisions utilizing Bayesian statistics and a multiparameter model-to-data …

The transverse momentum spectra of charged particles have been measured in pp and
PbPb collisions at s_NN=2.76~TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In the transverse …

A new robust method to extract the specific shear viscosity (η/s) QGP of a quark-gluon
plasma (QGP) at temperatures T c< T≲ 2 T c from the centrality dependence of the …

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the Fourier decomposition of the relative azimuthal
angle, Δ ϕ, distribution of particle pairs yields a large cos (3 Δ ϕ) component, extending to …

Atomic nuclei are self-organized, many-body quantum systems bound by strong nuclear
forces within femtometre-scale space. These complex systems manifest a variety of shapes …
