Originally scheduled to be held in Paris, the fully online conference brought together a particularly large and diverse group of participants.
Read article 'First sight of the running of the top-quark mass'
CMS has probed the running of the mass of the top quark for the first time - an important test of the validity of QCD, and an indirect search for unknown physics.

Jet modification effects are predicted to be strongest in this kinematic region.
Read article 'Plasma polarised by spin-orbit effect'
Though several mysteries remain, the ALICE collaboration has uncovered evidence that quark-gluon plasmas with extreme angular momenta become polarised.
Read article 'LHC and RHIC heavy ions dovetail in Wuhan'
Quark Matter 2019 heard about new probes of the quark-gluon plasma, including first observations of the exotic hadron X(3872) and top-antitop production.

The LHC’s physics programme has transformed our understanding of elementary particles, writes Michelangelo Mangano.
Read article 'More plasma quenching seen in wide jets'
The quark-gluon plasma has a characteristic angular scale below which high-momentum shower components are not resolved, but interact as a single partonic fragment.
Read article 'Beauty baryons strike again'
The LHCb experiment has observed new beauty-baryon states, consistent with theoretical expectations for excited Ωb− baryons.
