Search for new physics in top quark production in dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2019)The European Physical Journal CA search for new physics in top quark production is performed in proton-proton collisions at 13TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1 collected in 2016 with the CMS detector. Events with two opposite-sign isolated leptons (electrons or muons), and b quark jets in the final state are selected. The search is sensitive to new physics in top quark pair production and in single top quark production in association ...Journal Article -
Measurements of triple-differential cross sections for inclusive isolated-photon+jet events in p p collisions at √s=8TeV
(2019)The European Physical Journal CMeasurements are presented of the triple-differential cross section for inclusive isolated-photon+jet events in pp collisions at s√=8 TeV as a function of photon transverse momentum (pγT), photon pseudorapidity (ηγ), and jet pseudorapidity (ηjet). The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb−1 that probe a broad range of the available phase space, for |ηγ|<1.44 and 1.57<|ηγ|<2.50, |ηjet|<2.5, 40<pγT<1000 GeV, and jet transverse ...Journal Article -
Evidence for light-by-light scattering and searches for axion-like particles in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at √sNN=5.02TeV
(2019)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsEvidence for the light-by-light scattering process, γγ→γγ , in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of is reported. The analysis is conducted using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 390 μb−1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Light-by-light scattering processes are selected in events with two photons exclusively produced, each with transverse energy EγT>2GeV, ...Journal Article -

(2019)Physical Review CAzimuthal correlations of charged particles in xenon-xenon collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of √sNN=5.44 TeV are studied. The data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC with a total integrated luminosity of 3.42μb−1. The collective motion of the system formed in the collision is parametrized by a Fourier expansion of the azimuthal particle density distribution. The azimuthal anisotropy coefficients v2, v3, ...Journal Article -

A search for pair production of new light bosons decaying into muons in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
(2019)Physics Letters BA search for new light bosons decaying into muon pairs is presented using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=13TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The search is model independent, only requiring the pair production of a new light boson and its subsequent decay to a pair of muons. No significant deviation from the predicted background ...Journal Article -

Search for an exotic decay of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalars in the final state with two muons and two b quarks in pp collisions at 13 TeV
(2019)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsA search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalar particles a1 is performed under the hypothesis that one of the pseudoscalars decays to a pair of opposite sign muons and the other decays to bb. Such signatures are predicted in a number of extensions of the standard model (SM), including next-to-minimal supersymmetry and two-Higgs-doublet models with an additional scalar singlet. The results are based on a data ...Journal Article
