Studies of dijet transverse momentum balance and pseudorapidity distributions in pPb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
(2014)The European Physical Journal CDijet production has been measured in pPb collisions at a nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5.02TeV. A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 nb−1 was collected using the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The dijet transverse momentum balance, azimuthal angle correlations, and pseudorapidity distributions are studied as a function of the transverse energy in the forward calorimeters ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the underlying event in the Drell–Yan process in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV
(2012)The European Physical Journal CA measurement of the underlying event (UE) activity in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is performed using Drell–Yan events in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The activity measured in the muonic final state (qq¯¯¯→μ+μ−) is corrected to the particle level and compared with the predictions of various Monte Carlo generators and ...Journal Article -
Study of high-pT charged particle suppression in PbPb compared to pp collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV
(2012)The European Physical Journal CThe transverse momentum spectra of charged particles have been measured in pp and PbPb collisions at sNN−−−−√=2.76 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In the transverse momentum range p T=5–10 GeV/c, the charged particle yield in the most central PbPb collisions is suppressed by up to a factor of 7 compared to the pp yield scaled by the number of incoherent nucleon–nucleon collisions. At higher p T, this suppression is significantly ...Journal Article -
Measurement of differential top-quark-pair production cross sections in pp collisions at √s =7 TeV
(2013)The European Physical Journal CNormalised differential top-quark-pair production cross sections are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeVat the LHC with the CMS detector using data recorded in 2011 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1. The measurements are performed in the lepton+jets decay channels (e+jets and μ+jets) and the dilepton decay channels (e+e−, μ + μ −, and μ ±e∓). The tt¯ differential cross section is measured as ...Journal Article -
Study of the inclusive production of charged pions, kaons, and protons in pp collisions at √s=0.9, 2.76, and 7 TeV
(2012)The European Physical Journal CSpectra of identified charged hadrons are measured in pp collisions at the LHC for s√=0.9,2.76, and 7 TeV. Charged pions, kaons, and protons in the transverse-momentum range p T≈0.1–1.7 GeV/c and for rapidities |y|<1 are identified via their energy loss in the CMS silicon tracker. The average p T increases rapidly with the mass of the hadron and the event charged-particle multiplicity, independently of the center-of-mass energy. The fully ...Journal Article -
Cross section measurement of t-channel single top quark production in pp collisions at s√= 13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BThe cross section for the production of single top quarks in the t channel is measured in proton- proton collisions at 13TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2fb(-1). The event selection requires one muon and two jets where one of the jets is identified as originating from a bottom quark. Several kinematic variables are then combined into a multivariate discriminator to ...Journal Article -
Search for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks in proton–proton collisions at √s=13Te
(2019)The European Physical Journal CA search for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks is performed in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1. The signal is characterized by a large missing transverse momentum recoiling against a bottom quark–antiquark system that has a large Lorentz ...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 -
Principal-component analysis of two-particle azimuthal correlations in PbPb and pPb collisions at CMS
(2017)Physical Review CFor the first time a principle-component analysis is used to separate out different orthogonal modes of the two-particle correlation matrix from heavy ion collisions. The analysis uses data from √sNN = 2.76 TeV PbPb and √sNN = 5.02 TeV pPb collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Two-particle azimuthal correlations have been extensively used to study hydrodynamic flow in heavy ion collisions. Recently ...Journal Article -
Study of dijet events with a large rapidity gap between the two leading jets in pp collisions at √s=7TeV
(2018)The European Physical Journal CEvents with no charged particles produced between the two leading jets are studied in proton-proton collisions at s√=7 TeV. The jets were required to have transverse momentum pjetT>40 GeV and pseudorapidity 1.5<|ηjet|<4.7, and to have values of ηjet with opposite signs. The data used for this study were collected with the CMS detector during low-luminosity running at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 8pb−1. Events ...Journal Article
