Search for new long-lived particles at √ s =13 TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BThe observation of physics beyond the standard model (BSM) is one of the main objectives of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC. With no signal yet observed, these experiments have placed stringent bounds on BSM models. The majority of these searches focus on particles with lab frame decay lengths of mm and incorporate selection requirements that reject longer-lived particle decays. This leaves open the possibility that long-lived ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in events with one lepton and multiple jets exploiting the angular correlation between the lepton and the missing transverse momentum in proton–proton collisions at √s =13TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BResults are presented from a search for supersymmetry in events with a single electron or muon and hadronic jets. The data correspond to a sample of proton–proton collisions at √s =13TeV with an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb-1, recorded in 2016 by the CMS experiment. A number of exclusive search regions are defined according to the number of jets, the number of b -tagged jets, the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of the jets, and ...Journal Article -
Search for pair production of vector-like quarks in the bW(b)over-barW channel from proton-proton collisions at root s=13TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BA search is presented for the production of vector-like quark pairs, T (T) over bar or Y (Y) over bar, with electric charge of 2/3(T) or -4/3(Y), in proton-proton collisions at root s= 13 TeV. The data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.8 fb(-1). The T and Y quarks are assumed to decay exclusively to a W boson and a b quark. The search is based on events with a single ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry with Higgs boson to diphoton decays using the razor variables at root s=13 TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BAn inclusive search for anomalous Higgs boson production in the diphoton decay channel and in association with at least one jet is presented, using LHC proton–proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. The razor variables MR and R2, as well as the momentum and mass resolution of the diphoton system, are used to categorize events ...Journal Article -
Suppression of Excited Υ States Relative to the Ground State in Pb-Pb Collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2018)Physical Review LettersThe relative yields of Υ mesons produced in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV and reconstructed via the dimuon decay channel are measured using data collected by the CMS experiment. Double ratios are formed by comparing the yields of the excited states, Υ(2S) and Υ(3S), to the ground state, Υ(1S), in both Pb-Pb and pp collisions at the same center-of-mass energy. The double ratios, [Υ(nS)/Υ(1S)]Pb−Pb/[Υ(nS)/Υ(1S)]pp, are measured ...Journal Article -
Search for vectorlike light-flavor quark partners in proton-proton collisions at √s =8 TeV
(2018)Physical Review DA search is presented for heavy vectorlike quarks (VLQs) that couple only to light quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV at the LHC. The data were collected by the CMS experiment during 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. Both single and pair production of VLQs are considered. The single-production search is performed for down-type VLQs (electric charge of magnitude 1/3), while the pair-production ...Journal Article -
Search for massive resonances decaying into WW, WZ, ZZ, qW, and qZ with dijet final states at root √s=13 TeV
(2018)Physical Review DResults are presented from a search in the dijet final state for new massive narrow resonances decaying to pairs of W and Z bosons or to a W/Z boson and a quark. Results are based on data recorded in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The mass range investigated extends upwards from 1.2 TeV. No excess is observed above the estimated ...Journal Article -
Measurement of associated Z + charm production in proton–proton collisions at √s=8TeV
(2018)The European Physical Journal CA study of the associated production of a Z boson and a charm quark jet (Z+c), and a comparison to production with a b quark jet (Z+b), in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb−1, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The Z boson candidates are identified through their decays into pairs of electrons or muons. Jets ...Journal Article -
Measurement of normalized differential tt̄ cross sections in the dilepton channel from pp collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsNormalized differential cross sections for top quark pair production are measured in the dilepton (e+e−, μ+μ−, and μ∓e±) decay channels in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The measurements are performed with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb−1 using the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross sections are measured differentially as a function of the kinematic properties of the leptons, jets ...Journal Article -
