Search for direct pair production of supersymmetric partners to the τ lepton in proton–proton collisions at √s=13TeV
(2020)The European Physical Journal CA search is presented for τ slepton pairs produced in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The search is carried out in events containing two τ leptons in the final state, on the assumption that each τ slepton decays primarily to a τ lepton and a neutralino. Events are considered in which each τ lepton decays to one or more hadrons and a neutrino, or in which one of the τ leptons decays instead to an electron or ...Journal Article -
Measurement of differential cross sections and charge ratios for t-channel single top quark production in proton–proton collisions at √s=13Te
(2020)The European Physical Journal CA measurement is presented of differential cross sections for t-channel single top quark and antiquark production in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. From a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1, events containing one muon or electron and two or three jets are analysed. The cross section is measured as a function of the top quark transverse momentum ...Journal Article -
Measurement of electroweak production of a W boson in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at √s=13Te
(2020)The European Physical Journal CA measurement is presented of electroweak (EW) production of a W boson in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at s√=13TeV. The data sample was recorded by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1. The measurement is performed for the ℓνjj final state (with ℓν indicating a lepton–neutrino pair, and j representing the quarks produced in the hard interaction) in a kinematic ...Journal Article -
Measurement of t t ¯ normalised multi-differential cross sections in pp collisions at √s=13TeV , and simultaneous determination of the strong coupling strength, top quark pole mass, and parton distribution functions
(2020)The European Physical Journal CNormalised multi-differential cross sections for top quark pair (t t ¯) production are measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV using events containing two oppositely charged leptons. The analysed data were recorded with the CMS detector in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb-1. The double-differential t t ¯ cross section is measured as a function of the kinematic properties of the top ...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 -
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 first search is inclusive, based on signal regions defined by the ...Journal Article -
