The performance is presented of the reconstruction and identification algorithms for electrons and photons with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The reported results are based on proton-proton collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded in 2016-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 136 fb$^{-1}$. Results obtained from lead-lead collision data collected at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} =$ 5.02 TeV are also presented. Innovative techniques are used to reconstruct the electron and photon signals in the detector and to optimize the energy resolution. Events with electrons and photons in the final state are used to measure the energy resolution and energy scale uncertainty in the recorded events. The measured energy resolution for electrons produced in Z boson decays in proton-proton collision data ranges from 2 to 5%, depending on electron pseudorapidity and energy loss through bremsstrahlung in the detector material. The energy scale in the same range of energies is measured with an uncertainty smaller than 0.1 (0.3)% in the barrel (endcap) region in proton-proton collisions and better than 1 (3)% in the barrel (endcap) region in heavy ion collisions. The timing resolution for electrons from Z boson decays with the full 2016-2018 proton-proton collision data set is measured to be 200 ps.

  1. Off-shell Higgs boson measurements: Yukawa couplings, self-coupling, compositeness, and width

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Using off-shell Higgs production in 138 fb^-1 of 13 TeV CMS data, the collaboration measured Γ_H = 5.1^{+2.0}_{-1.8} MeV, excluded no off-shell production at >5σ, and set the first direct 95% CL lower bound Λ_H > 870 ...

  2. Measurement of the jet mass in hadronic decays of boosted W bosons at 13 TeV and extraction of the W boson mass

    hep-ex 2026-03 accept novelty 7.0

    Unfolded double-differential W+jets cross section versus jet p_T and soft-drop mass yields m_W = 80.83 ± 0.55 GeV, the most precise all-jets extraction at a hadron collider.

  3. Search for dark matter in a signature with a four-prong large-radius jet in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    No significant excess is observed in the four-prong large-radius jet + MET signature; 95% CL upper limits are set on the signal strength versus mediator mass or χ₂χ₁Y₀ coupling.

  4. Measurement of the fragmentation properties of jets containing $\Upsilon$(nS) mesons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    First measurement of Upsilon(nS) jet-fragmentation profiles shows data have lower z and higher p_rel^T than PYTHIA 8.240/8.310 with CP1/CP5 tunes.

  5. Search for soft unclustered energy patterns in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV using data scouting

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    No SUEP signal is observed in CMS scouting data; the search sets the most stringent limits to date on gluon-fusion production of heavy scalars decaying to SUEP-like final states.

  6. Search for nonresonant triple Higgs boson production in the final state with six bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    No excess is observed; the 95% CL upper limit on nonresonant HHH→6b is 44 fb (588×SM), with κ3 constrained to −7.4 < κ3 < 12.4 (κ4=1) and κ4 to −177 < κ4 < 185 (κ3=1).

  7. Measurement of the $\gamma\gamma \to \tau \tau$ cross section and constraints on the anomalous magnetic moment of the $\tau$ lepton in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    CMS measures gamma-gamma -> tau+tau- in PbPb UPCs and constrains the tau anomalous magnetic moment to -0.039 < a_tau < 0.032 (95% CL), with a fiducial cross-section of 555+60-14 microbarns.

  8. A measurement of the Higgs boson mass in the diphoton decay channel in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    CMS measures the Higgs mass in H→γγ with 138 fb⁻¹ at 13 TeV as 125.13 ± 0.15 GeV, and 125.06 ± 0.14 GeV when combined with 7+8 TeV diphoton data.
