Search for massive resonances decaying into pairs of boosted bosons in semi-leptonic final states at √s = 8 TeV
(2014)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for new resonances decaying to WW, ZZ, or WZ is presented. Final states are considered in which one of the vector bosons decays leptonically and the other hadronically. Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 recorded in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Techniques aiming at identifying jet substructures are used to analyze signal events in which ...Journal Article -
Measurement of Long-Range Near-Side Two-Particle Angular Correlations in pp Collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2016)Physical Review LettersResults on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles produced in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are presented. The data were taken with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of about 270 nb−1. The correlations are studied over a broad range of pseudorapidity (|η|<2.4) and over the full azimuth (ϕ) as a function of charged particle multiplicity and transverse momentum (pT). ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the B+ Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review LettersMeasurements of the total and differential cross sections dσ/dpBT and dσ/dyB for B+ mesons produced in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV are presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.8 pb−1 collected by the CMS experiment operating at the LHC. The exclusive decay B+→J/ψK+, with J/ψ→μ+μ−, is used to detect B+ mesons and to measure the production cross section as a function of pBT and yB. The total cross section for pBT>5 GeV ...Journal Article -
Measurement of Prompt ψ(2S) to J/ψ Yield Ratios in Pb-Pb and p-p Collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
(2014)Physical Review LettersThe ratio between the prompt ψ(2S) and J/ψ yields, reconstructed via their decays into μ+μ−, is measured in Pb-Pb and p-p collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV. The analysis is based on Pb-Pb and p-p data samples collected by CMS at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 150 μb−1 and 5.4 pb−1, respectively. The double ratio of measured yields (Nψ(2S)/NJ/ψ)Pb−Pb/(Nψ(2S)/NJ/ψ)p−p is computed in three Pb-Pb collision ...Journal Article -
Upsilon production cross section in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review DThe Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV are measured using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.1±0.3 pb−1. Integrated over the rapidity range |y|<2, we find the product of the Υ(1S) production cross section and branching fraction to dimuons to be σ(pp→Υ(1S)X)⋅B(Υ(1S)→μ+μ−)=7.37±0.13+0.61−0.42±0.81 nb, where the ...Journal Article -
Measurement of four-jet production in proton-proton collisions at √s =7TeV
(2014)Physical Review DMeasurements of the differential cross sections for the production of exactly four jets in proton-proton collisions are presented as a function of the transverse momentum pT and pseudorapidity η, together with the correlations in azimuthal angle and the pT balance among the jets. The data sample was collected in 2010 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, with an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. The cross ...Journal Article -
Measurements of t¯t Spin Correlations and Top-Quark Polarization Using Dilepton Final States in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2014)Physical Review LettersSpin correlations and polarization in the top quark–antiquark system are measured using dilepton final states produced in pp collisions at the LHC at √s=7 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector. The measurements are performed using events with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons), a significant imbalance in transverse momentum, and two or more jets, where at least ...Journal Article -
First Measurement of Bose-Einstein Correlations in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=0.9 and 2.36 TeV at the LHC
(2010)Physical Review LettersBose-Einstein correlations have been measured using samples of proton-proton collisions at 0.9 and 2.36 TeV center-of-mass energies, recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The signal is observed in the form of an enhancement of pairs of same-sign charged particles with small relative four-momentum. The size of the correlated particle emission region is seen to increase significantly with the particle multiplicity ...Journal Article -
Azimuthal decorrelation of jets widely separated in rapidity in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
(2016)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe decorrelation in the azimuthal angle between the most forward and the most backward jets (Mueller-Navelet jets) is measured in data collected in pp collisions with the CMS detector at the LHC at s√=7 TeV. The measurement is presented in the form of distributions of azimuthal-angle differences, Δϕ, between the Mueller-Navelet jets, the average cosines of (π − Δϕ), 2(π − Δϕ), and 3(π − Δϕ), and ratios of these cosines. The jets are ...Journal Article -
Search for physics beyond the standard model in dilepton mass spectra in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV
(2015)Journal of High Energy PhysicsDimuon and dielectron mass spectra, obtained from data resulting from proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV and recorded by the CMS experiment, are used to search for both narrow resonances and broad deviations from standard model predictions. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.6 (19.7) fb−1 for the dimuon (dielectron) channel. No evidence for non-standard-model physics is observed and 95% confidence level limits are set ...Journal Article
