Description
During the Run 3 LHC phase, the CMS trigger system has undergone significant advancements, enabling the exploration of new regions of phase space in fundamental physics. These improvements have been crucial in overcoming challenges such as the high-luminosity environment of the LHC and the effects of detector aging due to radiation damage. This talk will showcase performances and key physics results made possible by recent innovations in the CMS trigger system, including enhanced object reconstruction, the ability to trigger on novel signatures such as long-lived particles, and the integration of machine learning. Additionally, advanced techniques like data scouting and data parking have expanded the system’s capabilities, paving the way for new discoveries at very low mass.
