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 Dark Matter Particles Produced in Association with a Top Quark Pair at √s =13 TeV
(2019)Physical Review LettersA search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a top quark pair in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. No significant excess over the standard model expectation is observed. The results are interpreted using simplified models of dark matter production via spin-0 mediators that couple to dark matter ...Journal Article -
Measurement of exclusive Υ photoproduction from protons in p Pb collisions at √sNN=5.02TeV
(2019)The European Physical Journal CThe exclusive photoproduction of Υ(nS) meson states from protons, γp→Υ(nS)p (with n=1,2,3), is studied in ultraperipheral pPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN−−−√=5.02TeV. The measurement is performed using the Υ(nS)→μ+μ− decay mode, with data collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 32.6nb−1. Differential cross sections as functions of the Υ(nS) transverse momentum squared ...Journal Article -
Capturing variation impact on molecular interactions in the IMEx Consortium mutations data set
(2019)Nature CommunicationsThe current wealth of genomic variation data identified at nucleotide level presents the challenge of understanding by which mechanisms amino acid variation affects cellular processes. These effects may manifest as distinct phenotypic differences between individuals or result in the development of disease. Physical interactions between molecules are the linking steps underlying most, if not all, cellular processes. Understanding the effects ...Journal Article -
Search for new physics in top quark production in dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2019)The European Physical Journal CA search for new physics in top quark production is performed in proton-proton collisions at 13TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1 collected in 2016 with the CMS detector. Events with two opposite-sign isolated leptons (electrons or muons), and b quark jets in the final state are selected. The search is sensitive to new physics in top quark pair production and in single top quark production in association ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the top quark polarization and t(t)over-barspin correlations using dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV
(2019)Physical Review DMeasurements of the top quark polarization and top quark pair (t¯t) spin correlations are presented using events containing two oppositely charged leptons (e+e−, e±μ∓, or μ+μ−) produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. A set of parton-level normalized differential cross sections, sensitive ...Journal Article -
Observation of prompt J/ψ meson elliptic flow in high-multiplicity pPb collisions at √s=8.16 TeV
(2019)Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy PhysicsA measurement of the elliptic flow (v2) of prompt J/Ψ mesons in high-multiplicity pPb collisions is reported using data collected by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy √sNN=8.16 TeV. Prompt J/Ψ mesons decaying into two muons are reconstructed in the rapidity region in the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass frame (Ycm), corresponding to either -2.86 < Ycm < -1.86 or 0.94 < Ycm y 1.94. The average v2 result from the ...Journal Article -
A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production
(2019)Science AdvancesHuman land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield–related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on high richness remains unclear. Using a global database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), we partition the relative importance of species richness, abundance, and dominance for pollination; biological pest control; and ...Journal Article -
SPHERE: the exoplanet imager for the Very Large Telescope
(2019)Astronomy & AstrophysicsObservations of circumstellar environments that look for the direct signal of exoplanets and the scattered light from disks have significant instrumental implications. In the past 15 years, major developments in adaptive optics, coronagraphy, optical manufacturing, wavefront sensing, and data processing, together with a consistent global system analysis have brought about a new generation of high-contrast imagers and spectrographs on large ...Journal Article -
Search for vectorlike leptons in multilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at s =13 TeV
(2019)Physical Review DA search for vectorlike leptons in multilepton final states is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and 2017. Events are categorized by the multiplicity of electrons, muons, and hadronically decaying τ leptons. The missing transverse momentum and the scalar sum of the lepton ...Journal Article
