Search for a heavy resonance decaying to a pair of vector bosons in the lepton plus merged jet final state at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for a new heavy particle decaying to a pair of vector bosons (WW or WZ) is presented using data from the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016. One of the bosons is required to be a W boson decaying to eν or μν, while the other boson is required to be reconstructed as a single massive jet with substructure compatible ...Journal Article -
Search for new physics in final states with an energetic jet or a hadronically decaying W or Z boson and transverse momentum imbalance at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Physical Review DA search for new physics using events containing an imbalance in transverse momentum and one or more energetic jets arising from initial-state radiation or the hadronic decay of W or Z bosons is presented. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1, is used. The observed data are found to be in agreement with the expectation ...Journal Article -
Jet properties in PbPb and pp collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsModifications of the properties of jets in PbPb collisions, relative to those in pp collisions, are studied at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN−−−−√=5.02 TeV via correlations of charged particles with the jet axis in relative pseudorapidity (Δη), relative azimuth (Δϕ), and relative angular distance from the jet axis Δr=(Δη)2+(Δϕ)2−−−−−−−−−−−−√. This analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding ...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 -
Measurement of the associated production of a single top quark and a Z boson in pp collisions at, root s=13 TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BA measurement is presented of the associated production of a single top quark and a Z boson. The study uses data from proton-proton collisions at, root s = 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). Using final states with three leptons (electrons or muons), the tZq production cross section is measured to be sigma (pp -> tZq -> Wbl(+)l(-)q) = 123(-31)(+33)(stat)(-23)(+29)(syst) fb, ...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 -
Measurement of the Splitting Function in pp and Pb-Pb Collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2018)Physical Review LettersData from heavy ion collisions suggest that the evolution of a parton shower is modified by interactions with the color charges in the dense partonic medium created in these collisions, but it is not known where in the shower evolution the modifications occur. The momentum ratio of the two leading partons, resolved as subjets, provides information about the parton shower evolution. This substructure observable, known as the splitting ...Journal Article -
Search for lepton-flavor violating decays of heavy resonances and quantum black holes to eμ final states in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search is reported for heavy resonances decaying into eμ final states in proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at s√=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The search focuses on resonance masses above 200 GeV. With no evidence found for physics beyond the standard model in the eμ mass spectrum, upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the product of the cross section and ...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
