Observation of Electroweak Production of Same-Sign W Boson Pairs in the Two Jet and Two Same-Sign Lepton Final State in Proton-Proton Collisions at root s=13 TeV
(2018)Physical Review LettersThe first observation of electroweak production of same-sign W boson pairs in proton-proton collisions is reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events are selected by requiring exactly two leptons (electrons or muons) of the same charge, moderate missing transverse momentum, and two jets with a large rapidity ...Journal Article -
Search for a new scalar resonance decaying to a pair of Z bosons in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for a new scalar resonance decaying to a pair of Z bosons is performed in the mass range from 130 GeV to 3 TeV, and for various width scenarios. The analysis is based on proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The Z boson pair decays are reconstructed using the 4ℓ, 2ℓ2q, and 2ℓ2ν final states, where ℓ ...Journal Article -
Search for a charged Higgs boson decaying to charm and bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV
(2018)Journal of High Energy PhysicsA search for charged Higgs boson decaying to a charm and a bottom quark (H+→cb̄) is performed using 19.7 fb−1 of pp collision data at √s=8 TeV. The production mechanism investigated in this search is tt̄ pair production in which one top quark decays to a charged Higgs boson and a bottom quark and the other decays to a charged lepton, a neutrino, and a bottom quark. Charged Higgs boson decays to cb̄ are searched for, resulting in a final ...Journal Article
