Measurement of the t-Channel Single Top Quark Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Physical Review LettersElectroweak production of the top quark is measured for the first time in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV, using a data set collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. With an event selection optimized for t-channel production, two complementary analyses are performed. The first one exploits the special angular properties of the signal, together with background estimates from the data. ...Journal Article -
Inclusive b-hadron production cross section with muons in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2011)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA measurement of the b-hadron production cross section in proton-proton collisions at s√=7TeV is presented. The dataset, corresponding to 85 nb−1, was recorded with the CMS experiment at the LHC using a low-threshold single-muon trigger. Events are selected by the presence of a muon with transverse momentum pμT>6GeV with respect to the beam direction and pseudorapidity |η μ | < 2.1. The transverse momentum of the muon with respect to the ...Journal Article
