Search for Signatures of Extra Dimensions in the Diphoton Mass Spectrum at the Large Hadron Collider
(2012)Physical Review LettersA search for signatures of extra spatial dimensions in the diphoton invariant-mass spectrum has been performed with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events above the standard model expectation is observed using a data sample collected in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb−1. In the context of the large-extra-dimensions model, lower limits are set on the effective Planck scale ...Journal Article -
Inclusive search for squarks and gluinos in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2012)Physical Review DA search is performed for heavy particle pairs produced in √s=7 TeV proton-proton collisions with 35 pb−1 of data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The search is sensitive to squarks and gluinos of generic supersymmetry models, provided they are kinematically accessible, with minimal assumptions on properties of the lightest superpartner particle. The kinematic consistency of the selected events is tested against the hypothesis ...Journal Article -
Search for a Vectorlike Quark with Charge 2/3 in t+Z Events from pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review LettersA search for pair-produced heavy vectorlike charge-2/3 quarks, T, in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, is performed with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events consistent with the flavor-changing-neutral-current decay of a T quark to a top quark and a Z boson are selected by requiring two leptons from the Z-boson decay, as well as an additional isolated charged lepton. In a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the weak mixing angle with the Drell-Yan process in proton-proton collisions at the LHC
(2011)Physical Review DA multivariate likelihood method to measure electroweak couplings with the Drell–Yan process at the LHC is presented. The process is described by the dilepton rapidity, invariant mass, and decay angle distributions. The decay angle ambiguity due to the unknown assignment of the scattered constituent quark and antiquark to the two protons in a collision is resolved statistically using correlations between the observables. The method is ...Journal Article -
Search for Supersymmetry at the LHC in Events with Jets and Missing Transverse Energy
(2011)Physical Review LettersA search for events with jets and missing transverse energy is performed in a data sample of pp collisions collected at √s=7 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.14 fb−1. In this search, a kinematic variable αT is used as the main discriminator between events with genuine and misreconstructed missing transverse energy. No excess of events over the standard model ...Journal Article -
Search for New Physics with a Monojet and Missing Transverse Energy in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review LettersA study of events with missing transverse energy and an energetic jet is performed using pp collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The data were collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. An excess of these events over standard model contributions is a signature of new physics such as large extra dimensions and unparticles. The number of observed events is in good agreement ...Journal Article -
Search for B0s→μ+μ− and B0→μ+μ− Decays in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review LettersA search for the rare decays B0s→μ+μ− and B0→μ+μ− is performed in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV, with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.14 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In both cases, the number of events observed after all selection requirements is consistent with expectations from background and standard-model signal predictions. The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the tt ̄ production cross section in pp collisions at 7 TeV in lepton+jets events using b-quark jet identification
(2011)Physical Review DA new measurement of the inclusive production cross section for pp→t¯t is performed at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1, and is based on the final state with one isolated, high transverse momentum muon or electron, missing transverse energy, and hadronic jets. The t¯t content of the selected events ...Journal Article -
Search for physics beyond the standard model using multilepton signatures in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
(2011)Physics Letters BA search for physics beyond the standard model in events with at least three leptons and any number of jets is presented. The data sample corresponds to 35 pb−1 of integrated luminosity in pp collisions at s=7TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. A number of exclusive multileptonic channels are investigated and standard model backgrounds are suppressed by requiring sufficient missing transverse energy, invariant mass ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the Bs0 Production Cross Section with Bs0→J/ψϕ Decays in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review DThe B0s differential production cross section is measured as functions of the transverse momentum and rapidity in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV, using the B0s→J/ψϕ decay, and compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading order. The data sample, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 40 pb−1. The B0s is reconstructed from the decays J/ψ→μ+μ− and ϕ→K+K−. The ...Journal Article
