Search for supersymmetry in events with at least one photon, missing transverse momentum, and large transverse event activity in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for physics beyond the standard model in final states with at least one photon, large transverse momentum imbalance, and large total transverse event activity is presented. Such topologies can be produced in gauge-mediated supersymmetry models in which pair-produced gluinos or squarks decay to photons and gravitinos via short-lived neutralinos. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 of proton-proton ...Journal Article -
Search for Supersymmetry in pp Collisions at √s=13 TeV in the Single-Lepton Final State Using the Sum of Masses of Large-Radius Jets
(2017)Physical Review LettersResults are reported from a search for supersymmetric particles in proton-proton collisions in the final state with a single lepton, multiple jets, including at least one b-tagged jet, and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a sample of proton-proton collision data at √s=13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The observed event yields in the signal regions ...Journal Article -

Searches for W' bosons decaying to a top quark and a bottom quark in proton-proton collisions at 13TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsSearches are presented for heavy gauge bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark in data collected by the CMS experiment at s √ s = 13 TeV that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 and 2.6 fb−1 in the leptonic and hadronic analyses, respectively. Two final states are analyzed, one containing a single electron, or muon, and missing transverse momentum, and the other containing multiple jets and no electrons or muons. No ...Journal Article -
Search for pair production of vector-like T and B quarks in single-lepton final states using boosted jet substructure in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for pair production of massive vector-like T and B quarks in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV is presented. The data set was collected in 2015 by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of up to 2.6 fb−1. The T and B quarks are assumed to decay through three possible channels into a heavy boson (either a W, Z or Higgs boson) and a third generation quark. This search is performed in final ...Journal Article -
Search for new physics with dijet angular distributions in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search is presented for extra spatial dimensions, quantum black holes, and quark contact interactions in measurements of dijet angular distributions in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.6 fb−1. The distributions are found to be in agreement with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics that include electroweak ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the inclusive energy spectrum in the very forward direction in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe differential cross section for inclusive particle production as a function of energy in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is measured in the very forward region of the CMS detector. The measurement is based on data collected with the CMS apparatus at the LHC, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.34 μb−1. The energy is measured in the CASTOR calorimeter, which covers the pseudorapidity region ...Journal Article -
Measurement of charged pion, kaon, and proton production in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)Physical Review DTransverse momentum spectra of charged pions, kaons, and protons are measured in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The particles, identified via their energy loss in the silicon tracker, are measured in the transverse momentum range of pT≈0.1–1.7 GeV/c and rapidities |y|<1. The pT spectra and integrated yields are compared to previous results at smaller √s and to predictions of Monte Carlo event ...Journal Article -
Search for third-generation scalar leptoquarks and heavy right-handed neutrinos in final states with two tau leptons and two jets in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search is performed for third-generation scalar leptoquarks and heavy right-handed neutrinos in events containing one electron or muon, one hadronically decaying τ lepton, and at least two jets, using a s√=13 TeV pp collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb-1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016. The number of observed events is found to be in agreement with the standard model prediction. ...Journal Article -
Search for top quark partners with charge 5/3 in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV
(2017)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for the production of heavy partners of the top quark with charge 5/3 (X5/3) decaying into a top quark and a W boson is performed with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1, collected in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Final states with either a pair of same-sign leptons or a single lepton, along with jets, are considered. No ...Journal Article
