The CMS collaboration—an experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—has reached a milestone of 1,500 publications in scientific journals. From the discovery of the Higgs boson to high-precision measurements of various particles, from the study of quark-gluon plasma to the search for dark matter and new phenomena, and through the development and implementation of cutting-edge detectors, software, and technologies, each paper chronicles a fascinating journey toward understanding our universe. Faculty members, researchers, and students from the Department of Physics and the Genoa division of the INFN (National Institute for Nuclear Physics) have also made significant contributions to this collaboration.
