Search for anomalous couplings in boosted WW/WZ→ℓνqq¯ production in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BThis Letter presents a search for new physics manifested as anomalous triple gauge boson couplings in WW and WZ diboson production in proton–proton collisions. The search is performed using events containing a W boson that decays leptonically and a W or Z boson whose decay products are merged into a single reconstructed jet. The data, collected at s=8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19 fb−1. ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the tt¯ production cross section using events in the eμ final state in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)The European Physical Journal CThe cross section of top quark–antiquark pair production in proton–proton collisions at s√=13TeV is measured by the CMS experiment at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2fb−1. The measurement is performed by analyzing events in which the final state includes one electron, one muon, and two or more jets, at least one of which is identified as originating from hadronization of a b quark. The measured cross ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the WZ production cross section in pp collisions at s√ = 7 and 8 TeV and search for anomalous triple gauge couplings at s√ = 8 TeV
(2017)The European Physical Journal CThe WZ production cross section is measured by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in proton–proton collision data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 4.9fb−1 collected at s√=7TeV, and 19.6fb−1 at s√=8TeV. The measurements are performed using the fully-leptonic WZ decay modes with electrons and muons in the final state. The measured cross sections for 71<mZ<111GeV are σ(pp→WZ; s√=7TeV)=20.14±1.32(stat)±0.38(theo)±1.06(exp ...Journal Article -
Search for high-mass diphoton resonances in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV and combination with 8 TeV search
(2017)Physics Letters BA search for the resonant production of high-mass photon pairs is presented. The search focuses on spin-0 and spin-2 resonances with masses between 0.5 and 4.5TeV, and with widths, relative to the mass, between 1.4 ×10−4and 5.6 ×10−2. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 12.9fb−1of proton–proton collisions collected with the CMS detector in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. No significant excess is observed ...Journal Article -
Combination of searches for heavy resonances decaying to WW, WZ, ZZ, WH, and ZH boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s√=8 and 13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BA statistical combination of searches is presented for massive resonances decaying to WW, WZ, ZZ, WH, and ZH boson pairs in proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The data were taken at centre-of-mass energies of 8 and 13TeV, corresponding to respective integrated luminosities of 19.7 and up to 2.7 fb(-1). The results are interpreted in the context of heavy vector triplet and singlet models that mimic ...Journal Article -

Measurement of inclusive jet cross-sections in pp and PbPb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV
(2017)Physical Review CInclusive jet spectra from pp and PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, are presented. Jets are reconstructed with three different distance parameters (R=0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) for transverse momentum (pT) greater than 70GeV/c and pseudorapidity |η|<2. Next-to-leading-order quantum chromodynamic calculations with nonperturbative corrections are ...Journal Article -
Pseudorapidity dependence of long-range two-particle correlations in pPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2017)Physical Review CTwo-particle correlations in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02TeV are studied as a function of the pseudorapidity separation (Δη) of the particle pair at small relative azimuthal angle (|Δϕ|<π/3). The correlations are decomposed into a jet component that dominates the short-range correlations (|Δη|<1), and a component that persists at large Δη and may originate from collective behavior of the produced system. ...Journal Article -
Observation of Υ(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at √s= 8 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsPair production of Y(1S) mesons is observed at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at s√=8 TeV by the CMS experiment in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−1. Both Y(1S) candidates are fully reconstructed via their decays to μ+μ−. The fiducial acceptance region is defined by an absolute Y(1S) rapidity smaller than 2.0. The fiducial cross section for the production of Y(1S) pairs, assuming that both mesons ...Journal Article -
Jet energy scale and resolution in the CMS experiment in pp collisions at 8 TeV
(2017)Journal of InstrumentationImproved jet energy scale corrections, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, are presented. The corrections as a function of pseudorapidity η and transverse momentum pT are extracted from data and simulated events combining several channels and methods. They account successively for the effects of pileup, ...Journal Article
