EDP Sciences : Recent Results of the CMS Experiment

The CMS experiment has produced a large number of new measurements with data collected during Run 1 by the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this report a few results in Higgs and top physics will be mentioned. After a shutdown in 2013 and 2014, the LHC restarted proton-proton collisions at the unprecedented center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in June 2015. The data collected until August 2015 have yielded interesting events and allowed the extraction of the first results of searches at the high-energy end of mass spectra, where the effect of the higher collision energy is largest.
