Probing Charm Quark Dynamics via Multiparticle Correlations in Pb-Pb Collisions at root √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2022)Physical Review LettersMultiparticle azimuthal correlations of prompt D-0 mesons arc measured in Pb-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV. For the first time, a four-particle cumulant method is used to extract the second Fourier coefficient of the azimuthal distribution (v(2)) of D-0 mesons as a function of event centrality and the D-0 transverse momentum. The ratios of the four-particle v(2) values to previously ...Journal Article -
Search for resonances decaying to three W bosons in the hadronic final state in proton-proton collisions at ps=13 TeV
(2022)Physical Review DA search for Kaluza-Klein excited vector boson resonances, WKK, decaying in cascade to three W bosons via a scalar radion R, WKK → WR → WWW, in a final state containing two or three massive jets is presented. The search is performed with ffiffi s p ¼ 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC during 2016–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. Two final states are simultaneously ...Journal Article -
Search for new physics in the lepton plus missing transverse momentum final state in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for physics beyond the standard model (SM) in final states with an electron or muon and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016–2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. No significant deviation from the SM prediction is observed. Model-independent limits are set on ...Journal Article -
Observation of the Bc+ Meson in Pb-Pb and pp Collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV and Measurement of its Nuclear Modification Factor
(2022)Physical Review LettersThe Bc+ meson is observed for the first time in heavy ion collisions. Data from the CMS detector are used to study the production of the Bc+ meson in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN=5.02 TeV, via the Bc+→(J/ψ→μ+μ-)μ+νμ decay. The Bc+ nuclear modification factor, derived from the Pb-Pb-to-pp ratio of production cross sections, is measured in two bins of the trimuon ...Journal Article -
Observation of B0 s mesons and measurement of the B0 s /B+ yield ratio in PbPb collisions at √snn = 5.02 TeV
(2022)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsThe Bs0 and B+ production yields are measured in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The data sample, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 nb−1. The mesons are reconstructed in the exclusive decay channels B→s0J/ψ(μ+μ−)ϕ(K+K−) and B→+J/ψ(μ+μ−)K+, in the transverse momentum range 7–50 GeV/c and absolute rapidity 0–2.4. The Bs0 meson is observed with ...Journal Article -
Analysis of the CP structure of the Yukawa coupling between the Higgs boson and τ leptons in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe first measurement of the CP structure of the Yukawa coupling between the Higgs boson and tau leptons is presented. The measurement is based on data collected in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1). The analysis uses the angular correlation between the decay planes of tau leptons produced in Higgs boson decays. The effective mixing angle ...Journal Article -
Inclusive nonresonant multilepton probes of new phenomena at √s =13 TeV
(2022)Physical Review DAn inclusive search for nonresonant signatures of beyond the standard model (SM) phenomena in events with three or more charged leptons, including hadronically decaying τ leptons, is presented. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016-2018. Events are categorized based on the lepton and b-tagged ...Journal Article -
Search for charged-lepton flavor violation in top quark production and decay in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsResults are presented from a search for charged-lepton flavor violating (CLFV) interactions in top quark production and decay in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The events are required to contain one oppositely charged electron-muon pair in the final state, along with at least one jet identified as originating from a bottom quark. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment ...Journal Article -

Search for higgsinos decaying to two Higgs bosons and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsResults are presented from a search for physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV in channels with two Higgs bosons, each decaying via the process H -> b (b) over bar, and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The search is motivated by models of supersymmetry that predict ...Journal Article
