Observation of long-range, near-side angular correlations in pPb collisions at the LHC
(2013)Physics Letters BResults on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are presented. The analysis uses two million collisions collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The correlations are studied over a broad range of pseudorapidity, η, and full azimuth, φ, as a function of charged particle multiplicity and particle transverse momentum, pT. In high-multiplicity ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in events with photons and low missing transverse energy in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
(2013)Physics Letters BMany models of new physics, including versions of supersymmetry (SUSY), predict production of events with low missing transverse energy, electroweak gauge bosons, and many energetic final-state particles. The stealth SUSY model yields this signature while conserving R-parity by means of a new hidden sector in which SUSY is approximately conserved. The results of a general search for new physics, with no requirement on missing transverse ...Journal Article -
Search for resonances in the dijet mass spectrum from 7 TeV pp collisions at CMS
(2011)Physics Letters BA search for narrow resonances with a mass of at least 1 TeV in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using pp collisions at s=7TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb-1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No resonances are observed. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are presented on the product of the resonance cross section, branching fraction into dijets, and acceptance, separately for decays into quark-quark, ...Journal Article -
Observation of Sequential gamma Suppression in PbPb Collisions
(2012)Physical Review LettersThe suppression of the individual Υ(nS) states in PbPb collisions with respect to their yields in pp data has been measured. The PbPb and pp data sets used in the analysis correspond to integrated luminosities of 150 μb−1 and 230 nb−1, respectively, collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV. The Υ(nS) yields are measured from the dimuon invariant mass spectra. The suppression ...Journal Article -
Search for a W' boson decaying to a bottom quark and a top quark in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
(2013)Physics Letters BResults are presented from a search for a W' boson using a dataset corresponding to 5.0fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected during 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at s=7TeV. The W' boson is modeled as a heavy W boson, but different scenarios for the couplings to fermions are considered, involving both left-handed and right-handed chiral projections of the fermions, as well as an arbitrary mixture of the two. The ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at 7 TeV in events with jets and missing transverse energy
(2011)Physics Letters BA search for supersymmetry with R-parity conservation in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb−1 collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The search is performed in events with jets and significant missing transverse energy, characteristic of the decays of heavy, pair-produced squarks and gluinos. The primary background, from standard model ...Journal Article -
Search for a Higgs boson decaying into a b-quark pair and produced in association with b quarks in proton–proton collisions at 7 TeV
(2013)Physics Letters BA search for a neutral Higgs boson decaying to a pair of b quarks, and produced in association with at least one additional b quark, is presented. Multijet final states with three jets identified as originating from b quarks, at least one of which may include a non-isolated muon, are studied. The data used in this analysis correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.7–4.8 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions ...Journal Article -
Search for three-jet resonances in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2012)Physics Letters BResults are reported from a search for the production of three-jet resonances in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy √s=7 TeV. The study uses the data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0fb-1. Events with high jet multiplicity and a large scalar sum of jet transverse momenta are analyzed for the presence of resonances in the three-jet invariant mass spectrum. No ...Journal Article -
Search for Dark Matter and Large Extra Dimensions in pp Collisions Yielding a Photon and Missing Transverse Energy
(2012)Physical Review LettersResults are presented from a search for new physics in the final state containing a photon (γ) and missing transverse energy (E̸T). The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1 collected in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV by the CMS experiment. The observed event yield agrees with standard-model expectations for the γ+E̸T events. Using models for the production of dark-matter particles (χ), we set 90% confidence level (C.L.) ...Journal Article -
Search for pair produced fourth-generation up-type quarks in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with a lepton in the final state
(2012)Physics Letters BThe results of a search for the pair production of a fourth-generation up-type quark (t') in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 5.0 fb -1 collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the LHC. The t' quark is assumed to decay exclusively to a W boson and a b quark. Events with a single isolated electron or muon, missing transverse momentum, and at least ...Journal Article
