Pseudorapidity and transverse momentum dependence of flow harmonics in p Pb and PbPb collisions
(2018)Physical Review CMeasurements of azimuthal angular correlations are presented for high-multiplicity pPb collisions at √sNN=5.02TeV and peripheral PbPb collisions at √sNN=2.76TeV. The data used in this work were collected with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Fourier coefficients as functions of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity are studied using the scalar ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the underlying event activity in inclusive Z boson production in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThis paper presents a measurement of the underlying event activity in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, performed using inclusive Z boson production events collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb−1. The underlying event activity is quantified in terms of the charged particle multiplicity, as well as of the scalar sum of the charged ...Journal Article -
Bose-Einstein correlations in pp, pPb, and PbPb collisions at √sN N = 0.9–7 TeV
(2018)Physical Review CQuantum-statistical (Bose-Einstein) two-particle correlations are measured in pp collisions at √s=0.9, 2.76, and 7 TeV, as well as in pPb and peripheral PbPb collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies of 5.02 and 2.76 TeV, respectively, using the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Separate analyses are performed for same-sign unidentified charged particles as well as for same-sign pions and kaons identified via their ...Journal Article -
Search for new long-lived particles at √ s =13 TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BThe observation of physics beyond the standard model (BSM) is one of the main objectives of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC. With no signal yet observed, these experiments have placed stringent bounds on BSM models. The majority of these searches focus on particles with lab frame decay lengths of mm and incorporate selection requirements that reject longer-lived particle decays. This leaves open the possibility that long-lived ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in events with one lepton and multiple jets exploiting the angular correlation between the lepton and the missing transverse momentum in proton–proton collisions at √s =13TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BResults are presented from a search for supersymmetry in events with a single electron or muon and hadronic jets. The data correspond to a sample of proton–proton collisions at √s =13TeV with an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb-1, recorded in 2016 by the CMS experiment. A number of exclusive search regions are defined according to the number of jets, the number of b -tagged jets, the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of the jets, and ...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 -
Measurement of associated Z + charm production in proton–proton collisions at √s=8TeV
(2018)The European Physical Journal CA study of the associated production of a Z boson and a charm quark jet (Z+c), and a comparison to production with a b quark jet (Z+b), in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb−1, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The Z boson candidates are identified through their decays into pairs of electrons or muons. Jets ...Journal Article -
Measurement of normalized differential tt̄ cross sections in the dilepton channel from pp collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsNormalized differential cross sections for top quark pair production are measured in the dilepton (e+e−, μ+μ−, and μ∓e±) decay channels in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The measurements are performed with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb−1 using the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross sections are measured differentially as a function of the kinematic properties of the leptons, jets ...Journal Article -

Events with one Higgs boson decaying into two bottom quarks and the other decaying into two τ leptons are explored to investigate both resonant and nonresonant production mechanisms. The data are ...Journal Article -
Search for the pair production of third-generation squarks with two-body decays to a bottom or charm quark and a neutralino in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2018)Physics Letters BResults are presented from a search for the pair production of third-generation squarks in proton–proton collision events with two-body decays to bottom or charm quarks and a neutralino, which produces a significant imbalance in the transverse momentum.
