Search for supersymmetry with a compressed mass spectrum in the vector boson fusion topology with 1-lepton and 0-lepton final states in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2019)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for supersymmetric particles produced in the vector boson fusion topology in proton-proton collisions is presented. The search targets final states with one or zero leptons, large missing transverse momentum, and two jets with a large separation in rapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV collected in 2016 with the CMS detector at the LHC. The observed ...Journal Article -
Studies of Beauty Suppression via Nonprompt D0 Mesons in Pb-Pb Collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2019)Physical Review LettersThe transverse momentum spectra of D0 mesons from b hadron decays are measured at midrapidity (|y|<1) in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy of 5.02 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The D0 mesons from b hadron decays are distinguished from prompt D0 mesons by their decay topologies. In Pb-Pb collisions, the B→D0 yield is found to be suppressed in the measured pT range from 2 to 100 GeV/c as compared ...Journal Article -
Search for a heavy pseudoscalar boson decaying to a Z and a Higgs boson at √s=13TeV
(2019)The European Physical Journal CA search is presented for a heavy pseudoscalar boson A decaying to a Z boson and a Higgs boson with mass of 125GeV. In the final state considered, the Higgs boson decays to a bottom quark and antiquark, and the Z boson decays either into a pair of electrons, muons, or neutrinos. The analysis is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1 collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC from ...Journal Article -
Search for the production of W±W±W events at s =13 TeV
(2019)Physical Review DA search for the production of events containing three W bosons predicted by the standard model is reported. The search is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The search is performed in final states with three leptons (electrons or muons), or with two same-charge leptons plus ...Journal Article -
Search for charged Higgs bosons in the H± → τ±ντ decay channel in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2019)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search is presented for charged Higgs bosons in the H± → τ±ντ decay mode in the hadronic final state and in final states with an electron or a muon. The search is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The results agree with the background expectation from the standard model. Upper limits at 95% confidence ...Journal Article -
Performance of missing transverse momentum reconstruction in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV using the CMS detector
(2019)Journal of InstrumentationThe performance of missing transverse momentum (vec pTmiss) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1.
