Search for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the Four b Quark Final State in Proton-Proton Collisions at √ s =13 TeV
(2022)Physical Review LettersA search for pairs of Higgs bosons produced via gluon and vector boson fusion is presented, focusing on the four b quark final state. The data sample consists of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1}. No deviation from the background-only hypothesis is observed. A 95% confidence level upper limit on the Higgs ...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 -
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 -
Measurement of the inclusive and differential tt¯ γ cross sections in the dilepton channel and effective field theory interpretation in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe production cross section of a top quark pair in association with a photon is measured in proton-proton collisions in the decay channel with two oppositely charged leptons (e(+/-)mu(-/+), e(+)e(-), or mu(+)mu(-)). The measurement is performed using 138 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at root s = 13 TeV during the 2016-2018 data-taking period of the CERN LHC. A fiducial phase space is defined such ...Journal Article -
Search for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of Lorentz-boosted Higgs bosons in final states with leptons and a bottom quark pair at √s = 13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for new heavy resonances decaying to a pair of Higgs bosons (HH) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is presented. Data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). Resonances with a mass between 0.8 and 4.5 TeV are considered using events in which one Higgs boson decays into a bottom quark pair and the other into final states ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in final states with two or three soft leptons and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV
(2022)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for supersymmetry in events with two or three low-momentum leptons and missing transverse momentum is performed. The search uses proton-proton collisions at root s = 13TeV collected in the three-year period 2016-2018 by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 137 fb(-1). The data are found to be in agreement with expectations from standard model processes. The results are interpreted ...Journal Article -
