Measurement of differential cross sections in the kinematic angular variable ϕ* for inclusive Z boson production in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsMeasurements of differential cross sections dσ/dϕ* and double-differential cross sections d2σ/dϕ*d|y| for inclusive Z boson production are presented using the dielectron and dimuon final states. The kinematic observable ϕ* correlates with the dilepton transverse momentum but has better resolution, and y is the dilepton rapidity. The analysis is based on data collected with the CMS experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding ...Journal Article -
Search for ZZ resonances in the 2ℓ2ν final state in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of Z bosons is performed using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events are selected by requiring two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons), consistent with the decay of a Z boson, and large missing transverse momentum, which is interpreted as arising from the decay of a second Z boson to two neutrinos. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at a ...Journal Article -
Pseudorapidity distributions of charged hadrons in proton-lead collisions at √sNN=5.02 and 8.16 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe pseudorapidity distributions of charged hadrons in proton-lead collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies sNN−−−√=5.02 and 8.16 TeV are presented. The measurements are based on data samples collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The number of primary charged hadrons produced in non-single-diffractive proton-lead collisions is determined in the pseudorapidity range |ηlab| < 2.4. The charged-hadron multiplicity distributions ...Journal Article -
Combined search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA statistical combination of several searches for the electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos is presented. All searches use proton-proton collision data at s√=13 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. In addition to the combination of previous searches, a targeted analysis requiring three or more charged leptons (electrons or muons) is presented, ...Journal Article -
Identification of heavy-flavour jets with the CMS detector in pp collisions at 13 TeV
(2018)Journal of InstrumentationMany measurements and searches for physics beyond the standard model at the LHC rely on the efficient identification of heavy-flavour jets, i.e. jets originating from bottom or charm quarks. In this paper, the discriminating variables and the algorithms used for heavy-flavour jet identification during the first years of operation of the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, are presented. ...Journal Article -
Search for natural and split supersymmetry in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV in final states with jets and missing transverse momentum
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for supersymmetry (SUSY) is performed in final states comprising one or more jets and missing transverse momentum using data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data were recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The number of signal events is found to agree with the expected background yields from standard model processes. ...Journal Article -
Search for a heavy resonance decaying to a pair of vector bosons in the lepton plus merged jet final state at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for a new heavy particle decaying to a pair of vector bosons (WW or WZ) is presented using data from the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016. One of the bosons is required to be a W boson decaying to eν or μν, while the other boson is required to be reconstructed as a single massive jet with substructure compatible ...Journal Article -
Measurement of prompt and nonprompt charmonium suppression in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV
(2018)The European Physical Journal CThe nuclear modification factors of J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are measured in PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN−−−√=5.02TeV. The analysis is based on PbPb and pp data samples collected by CMS at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 464μb−1 and 28pb-1, respectively. The measurements are performed in the dimuon rapidity range of |y|<2.4 as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse ...Journal Article -

The analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The data are consistent with background expectations, and ...Journal Article -
