A search for new phenomena in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV in final states with missing transverse momentum and at least one jet using the αT variable
(2017)The European Physical Journal CA search for new phenomena is performed in final states containing one or more jets and an imbalance in transverse momentum in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The analysed data sample, recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3fb−1. Several kinematic variables are employed to suppress the dominant background, multijet production, as well as to discriminate between other ...Journal Article -
Search for standard model production of four top quarks in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BA search for events containing four top quarks () is reported from proton–proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.6 fb−1. The analysis considers the single-lepton (e or μ)+jets and the opposite-sign dilepton (, , or )+jets channels. It uses boosted decision trees to combine information on the global event and jet properties to distinguish between and production. The number of ...Journal Article -
Measurement of prompt and nonprompt J/ψ production in pp and pPb collisions at sNN‾‾‾‾√=5.02TeV
(2017)The European Physical Journal CThis paper reports the measurement of J/ψ meson production in proton–proton (pp) and proton–lead (pPb) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The data samples used in the analysis correspond to integrated luminosities of 28pb−1 and 35nb−1 for pp and pPb collisions, respectively. Prompt and nonprompt J/ψ mesons, the latter produced in the decay of B hadrons, are measured in their ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the production cross section of the W boson in association with two b jets in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV
(2017)The European Physical Journal CThe production cross section of a W boson in association with two b jets is measured using a sample of proton–proton collisions at √s=8TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.8fb-1. The W bosons are reconstructed via their leptonic decays, W→ℓν, where ℓ=μ or e. The fiducial region studied contains exactly one lepton with transverse momentum pℓT>30GeV and pseudorapidity ...Journal Article -
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 -

(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 -
