Observation of the Λb0→J/ψΛϕ decay in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV
(2020)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsThe observation of the Λb 0→J/ψΛϕ decay is reported using proton-proton collision data collected at s=13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 60fb−1. The ratio of the branching fractions B(Λb 0→J/ψΛϕ)/B(Λb 0→ψ(2S)Λ) is measured to be (8.26±0.90(stat)±0.68(syst)±0.11(B))×10−2, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last uncertainty reflects the ...Journal Article -
Search for light pseudoscalar boson pairs produced from decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson in final states with two muons and two nearby tracks in pp collisions at s=13TeV
(2020)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsA search is presented for pairs of light pseudoscalar bosons, in the mass range from 4 to 15 GeV, produced from decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson. The decay modes considered are final states that arise when one of the pseudoscalars decays to a pair of tau leptons, and the other one either into a pair of tau leptons or muons. The search is based on proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy ...Journal Article -
Search for Supersymmetry with a Compressed Mass Spectrum in Events with a Soft τ Lepton, a Highly Energetic Jet, and Large Missing Transverse Momentum in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2020)Physical Review LettersThe first search for supersymmetry in events with an experimental signature of one soft, hadronically decaying τ lepton, one energetic jet from initial-state radiation, and large transverse momentum imbalance is presented. These event signatures are consistent with direct or indirect production of scalar τ leptons (˜τ) in supersymmetric models that exhibit coannihilation between the ˜τ and the lightest neutralino (˜χ01), and that could ...Journal Article -
Multiparticle correlation studies in pPb collisions at sNN =8.16 TeV
(2020)Physical Review CThe second- and third-order azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics of charged particles produced in pPb collisions, at √sNN=8.16TeV, are studied over a wide range of event multiplicities. Multiparticle correlations are used to isolate global properties stemming from the collision overlap geometry. The second-order “elliptic” harmonic moment is obtained with high precision through four-, six-, and eight-particle correlations and, for the ...Journal Article -
Evidence for WW production from double-parton interactions in proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2020)The European Physical Journal CA search for WW production from double-parton scattering processes using same-charge electron-muon and dimuon events is reported, based on proton-proton collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The analyzed data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.4fb−1, collected using the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016 and 2017. Multivariate classifiers are used to discriminate between the signal and the dominant ...Journal Article -
Production of Λc+ baryons in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at sNN=5.02TeV
(2020)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsThe transverse momentum (pT) spectra of inclusively produced Λc + baryons are measured via the exclusive decay channel Λc +→pK−π+ using the CMS detector at the LHC. Spectra are measured as a function of transverse momentum in proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The measurement is performed within the Λc + rapidity interval |y|<1 in the pT range of 5–20GeV/c in pp and ...Journal Article -
Searches for physics beyond the standard model with the MT2 variable in hadronic final states with and without disappearing tracks in proton–proton collisions at √s=13Te
(2020)The European Physical Journal CTwo related searches for phenomena beyond the standard model (BSM) are performed using events with hadronic jets and significant transverse momentum imbalance. The results are based on a sample of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016–2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137fb−1. The first search is inclusive, based on signal regions defined by the ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the tt‾bb‾ production cross section in the all-jet final state in pp collisions at s=13 TeV
(2020)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsA measurement of the production cross section of top quark pairs in association with two b jets (tt‾bb‾) is presented using data collected in proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV by the CMS detector at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The cross section is measured in the all-jet decay channel of the top quark pair by selecting events containing at least eight jets, of which at least two are identified as ...Journal Article -
Observation of the B0s→X(3872)ϕ Decay
(2020)Physical Review LettersUsing a data sample of proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 collected by the CMS experiment in 2016–2018, the B0s→X(3872)ϕ decay is observed. Decays into J/ψπ+π− and K+K− are used to reconstruct, respectively, the X(3872) and ϕ. The ratio of the product of branching fractions B[B0s→X(3872)ϕ]B[X(3872)→J/ψπ+π−] to the product B[B0s→ψ(2S)ϕ]B[ψ(2S)→J/ψπ+π−] is measured to be ...Journal Article -
Strange hadron production in pp and pPb collisions at sNN =5.02 TeV
(2020)Physical Review CThe transverse momentum (pT) distributions of Λ, Ξ-, and ω- baryons, their antiparticles, and KS0 mesons are measured in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV over a broad rapidity range. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 40.2 nb-1 and 15.6 μb-1 for pp and pPb collisions, respectively, were collected by the CMS experiment. The nuclear modification ...Journal Article
