Dependence of inclusive jet production on the anti-kT distance parameter in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2020)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe dependence of inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV on the distance parameter R of the anti-kT algorithm is studied using data corresponding to integrated luminosities up to 35.9 fb−1 collected by the CMS experiment in 2016. The ratios of the inclusive cross sections as functions of transverse momentum pT and rapidity y, for R in the range 0.1 to 1.2 to those using R = 0.4 are ...Journal Article -
In-medium modification of dijets in PbPb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
(2021)Journal of High Energy PhysicsModifications to the distribution of charged particles with respect to high transverse momentum (pT) jets passing through a quark-gluon plasma are explored using the CMS detector. Back-to-back dijets are analyzed in lead-lead and proton-proton collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV via correlations of charged particles in bins of relative pseudorapidity and angular distance from the leading and subleading jet axes. In comparing the lead-lead and ...Journal Article -
Measurements of Higgs boson production cross sections and couplings in the diphoton decay channel at √s = 13 TeV
(2021)Journal of High Energy PhysicsMeasurements of Higgs boson production cross sections and couplings in events where the Higgs boson decays into a pair of photons are reported. Events are selected from a sample of proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV collected by the CMS detector at the LHC from 2016 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1. Analysis categories enriched in Higgs boson events produced via gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, vector ...Journal Article -

Observation of tW production in the single-lepton channel in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2021)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA measurement of the cross section of the associated production of a single top quark and a W boson in final states with a muon or electron and jets in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016. A boosted decision tree is used to separate the tW signal from the dominant tt¯ background, whilst the subleading W+jets ...Journal Article -
