Search for supersymmetry in the all-hadronic final state using top quark tagging in pp collisions at s√=13 TeV
(2017)Physical Review DA search is presented for supersymmetry in all-hadronic events with missing transverse momentum and tagged top quarks. The data sample was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Search regions are defined using the properties of reconstructed jets, the multiplicity of bottom and top quark candidates, and an imbalance ...Journal Article -
Search for leptophobic Z′ bosons decaying into four-lepton final states in proton–proton collisions at √s=8TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BA search for heavy narrow resonances decaying into four-lepton final states has been performed using proton–proton collision data at √s=8TeV collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb-1. No excess of events over the standard model background expectation is observed. Upper limits for a benchmark model on the product of cross section and branching fraction for the production of these heavy narrow ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the triple-differential dijet cross section in proton-proton collisions at √s=8TeV and constraints on parton distribution functions
(2017)The European Physical Journal CA measurement is presented of the triple-differential dijet cross section at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV using 19.7fb-1 of data collected with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The cross section is measured as a function of the average transverse momentum, half the rapidity separation, and the boost of the two leading jets in the event. The cross section is corrected for detector effects and compared to calculations ...Journal Article -
Search for new phenomena with multiple charged leptons in proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2017)The European Physical Journal CResults are reported from a search for physics beyond the standard model in final states with at least three charged leptons, in any combination of electrons or muons. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at s√=13TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2015. Two jets are required in each event, providing good sensitivity to strong production of gluinos and squarks. The ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the cross section for electroweak production of Zγ in association with two jets and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings in proton–proton collisions at s√=8 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BA measurement is presented of the cross section for the electroweak production of a Z boson and a photon in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV. The Z bosons are identified through their decays to electron or muon pairs. The measurement is based on data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb −1. The electroweak contribution has a significance of 3.0 standard ...Journal Article -
Search for physics beyond the standard model in events with two leptons of same sign, missing transverse momentum, and jets in proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2017)The European Physical Journal CA data sample of events from proton–proton collisions with two isolated same-sign leptons, missing transverse momentum, and jets is studied in a search for signatures of new physics phenomena by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1, and a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The properties of the events are consistent with expectations from standard model processes, and no excess yield ...Journal Article -
Measurements of the tt production cross section in lepton+jets final states in pp collisions at 8 TeV and ratio of 8 to 7 TeV cross sections

This analysis is performed in the tt¯ decay channels with one isolated, high transverse momentum electron or muon and at least four jets, at least one of which is required to be identified ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the WZ production cross section in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BThe WZ production cross section in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV is measured with the CMS experiment at the LHC using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. The measurement is performed in the leptonic decay modes WZ→ℓνℓ′ℓ′, where ℓ,ℓ′=e,μ.
