Recent results of the CMS experiment
  The CMS experiment is a multi-purpose detector successfully operated at the LHC where predominantly pp collisions take place at various centre-of-mass energies up to sqrt(s)=8 TeV so far. Several weeks per year also heavy-ion collisions take place leading to interesting studies in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_(NN))=2.76 TeV and sqrt(s_(NN))=5.02 TeV centre-of-mass energies per nucleon, respectively. The excellent performance of the accelerator and the experiment allows for dedicated physics measurements over a wide range of subjects, starting from particle identification, encompassing forward physics, Standard Model measurements in multijet, boson, heavy flavour and top quark physics, building the basis for new physics searches interpreted within the framework of various models and theories. These pursued pp physics subjects are complemented by a rich heavy ion physics programme.
