Search for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks in proton–proton collisions at √s=13Te
(2019)The European Physical Journal CA search for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks is performed in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1. The signal is characterized by a large missing transverse momentum recoiling against a bottom quark–antiquark system that has a large Lorentz ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the top quark Yukawa coupling from t t ¯ kinematic distributions in the dilepton final state in proton-proton collisions at s =13 TeV
(2020)Physical Review DA measurement of the Higgs boson Yukawa coupling to the top quark is presented using proton-proton collision data at √s=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1, recorded with the CMS detector. The coupling strength with respect to the standard model value, Yt, is determined from kinematic distributions in t¯t final states containing ee, μμ, or eμ pairs. Variations of the Yukawa coupling strength lead to modified ...Journal Article -
Constraints on the Initial State of Pb-Pb Collisions via Measurements of Z-Boson Yields and Azimuthal Anisotropy at sNN =5.02 TeV
(2021)Physical Review LettersThe CMS experiment at the LHC has measured the differential cross sections of Z bosons decaying to pairs of leptons, as functions of transverse momentum and rapidity, in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The measured Z boson elliptic azimuthal anisotropy coefficient is compatible with zero, showing that Z bosons do not experience significant final-state interactions in the medium produced in the ...Journal Article -
Search for a heavy vector resonance decaying to a Z boson and a Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2021)The European Physical Journal CA search is presented for a heavy vector resonance decaying into a Z boson and the standard model Higgs boson, where the Z boson is identified through its leptonic decays to electrons, muons, or neutrinos, and the Higgs boson is identified through its hadronic decays. The search is performed in a Lorentz-boosted regime and is based on data collected from 2016 to 2018 at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137fb−1. ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the electroweak production of Zγ and two jets in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings
(2021)Physical Review DThe first observation of the electroweak (EW) production of a Z boson, a photon, and two forward jets (Zγjj) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is presented. A data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016–2018 is used. The measured fiducial cross section for EW Zγjj is σEW=5.21±0.52(stat)±0.56(syst) fb=5.21±0.76 fb. Single-differential ...Journal Article -
Search for direct pair production of supersymmetric partners to the τ lepton in proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2020)The European Physical Journal CA search is presented for τ slepton pairs produced in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The search is carried out in events containing two τ leptons in the final state, on the assumption that each τ slepton decays primarily to a τ lepton and a neutralino. Events are considered in which each τ lepton decays to one or more hadrons and a neutrino, or in which one of the τ leptons decays instead to an electron or ...Journal Article -
Search for Dark Matter Particles Produced in Association with a Top Quark Pair at √s =13 TeV
(2019)Physical Review LettersA search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a top quark pair in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. No significant excess over the standard model expectation is observed. The results are interpreted using simplified models of dark matter production via spin-0 mediators that couple to dark matter ...Journal Article -
Constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings to vector bosons and fermions in its production and decay using the four-lepton final state
(2021)Physical Review DStudies of CP violation and anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons and fermions are presented. The data were acquired by the CMS experiment at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1 at a proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV. The kinematic effects in the Higgs boson’s four-lepton decay H→4ℓ and its production in association with two jets, a vector boson, or top quarks are analyzed, using a full ...Journal Article -

Search for new physics in dijet angular distributions using proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV and constraints on dark matter and other models
(2018)The European Physical Journal CA search is presented for physics beyond the standard model, based on measurements of dijet angular distributions in proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1. The observed distributions, corrected to particle level, are found to be in agreement with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics that include electroweak corrections. ...Journal Article
