Measurement of the differential cross section and charge asymmetry for inclusive pp→W±+X production at √s=8 TeV
(2016)The European Physical Journal CThe differential cross section and charge asymmetry for inclusive pp→W±+X→μ±ν+X production at √s=8TeV are measured as a function of muon pseudorapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.8fb−1 recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. These results provide important constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10−3 to 10−1.Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in events with photons and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at 13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BThe results of a search for new physics in final states with photons and missing transverse energy are reported. The study is based on a sample of proton–proton collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the CMS detector in 2015, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. Final states with two photons and significant missing transverse energy are used to search for supersymmetric particles in models of ...Journal Article -
Searches for electroweak production of charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons decaying to leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV
(2014)The European Physical Journal CSearches for the direct electroweak production of supersymmetric charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons in a variety of signatures with leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons are presented. Results are based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energy s√=8TeV with the CMS detector in 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb-1. The observed event rates are in agreement with expectations from ...Journal Article -
A search for new phenomena in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV in final states with missing transverse momentum and at least one jet using the αT variable
(2017)The European Physical Journal CA search for new phenomena is performed in final states containing one or more jets and an imbalance in transverse momentum in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The analysed data sample, recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3fb−1. Several kinematic variables are employed to suppress the dominant background, multijet production, as well as to discriminate between other ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in the all-hadronic final state using top quark tagging in pp collisions at s√=13 TeV
(2017)Physical Review DA search is presented for supersymmetry in all-hadronic events with missing transverse momentum and tagged top quarks. The data sample was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Search regions are defined using the properties of reconstructed jets, the multiplicity of bottom and top quark candidates, and an imbalance ...Journal Article -
Search for leptophobic Z′ bosons decaying into four-lepton final states in proton–proton collisions at √s=8TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BA search for heavy narrow resonances decaying into four-lepton final states has been performed using proton–proton collision data at √s=8TeV collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb-1. No excess of events over the standard model background expectation is observed. Upper limits for a benchmark model on the product of cross section and branching fraction for the production of these heavy narrow ...Journal Article -

(2017)Physics Letters BA measurement is presented of the cross section for the electroweak production of a Z boson and a photon in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV.

Measurement of the WZ production cross section in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BThe WZ production cross section in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV is measured with the CMS experiment at the LHC using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. The measurement is performed in the leptonic decay modes WZ→ℓνℓ′ℓ′, where ℓ,ℓ′=e,μ. The measured cross section for the range 60<mℓ′ℓ′<120 GeV is σ(pp→WZ)=39.9±3.2(stat) (syst)−3.1+2.9±0.4(theo)±1.3(lumi) pb, consistent with the standard model prediction.Journal Article -
Measurement of inclusive jet cross-sections in pp and PbPb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV
(2017)Physical Review CInclusive jet spectra from pp and PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, are presented. Jets are reconstructed with three different distance parameters (R=0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) for transverse momentum (pT) greater than 70GeV/c and pseudorapidity |η|<2. Next-to-leading-order quantum chromodynamic calculations with nonperturbative corrections are ...Journal Article -
Pseudorapidity dependence of long-range two-particle correlations in pPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV
(2017)Physical Review CTwo-particle correlations in pPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02TeV are studied as a function of the pseudorapidity separation (Δη) of the particle pair at small relative azimuthal angle (|Δϕ|<π/3). The correlations are decomposed into a jet component that dominates the short-range correlations (|Δη|<1), and a component that persists at large Δη and may originate from collective behavior of the produced system. ...Journal Article
