Calibration of the CMS drift tube chambers and measurement of the drift velocity with cosmic rays
(2010-03)
This paper describes the calibration procedure for the drift tubes of the CMS barrel muon system and reports the main results obtained with data collected during a high statistics cosmic ray data-taking period. The main ...
Performance of CMS muon reconstruction in cosmic-ray events
(IOP Publishing, 2010-03)
The performance of muon reconstruction in CMS is evaluated using a large data sample of cosmic-ray muons recorded in 2008. Efficiencies of various high-level trigger, identification, and reconstruction algorithms have been ...
Search for a massive resonance decaying into a Higgs boson and a W or Z boson in hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV
(Springer Nature, 2016-02)
A search for a massive resonance decaying into a standard-model-like Higgs boson (H) and a W or Z boson is reported. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb[superscript ...
Measurement of the weak mixing angle using the forward–backward asymmetry of Drell–Yan events in pp collisions at 8 TeV
(2018-09)
A measurement is presented of the effective leptonic weak mixing angle (sin[superscript 2] θ[superscript ℓ][subscript eff]) using the forward–backward asymmetry of Drell–Yan lepton pairs (μμ and ee) produced in proton–proton ...
Inclusive Search for a Highly Boosted Higgs Boson Decaying to a Bottom Quark-Antiquark Pair
(American Physical Society, 2018-02)
An inclusive search for the standard model Higgs boson (H) produced with large transverse momentum (p[subscript T]) and decaying to a bottom quark-antiquark pair (b[¯ over b]) is performed using a data set of pp collisions ...
Search for Rare Decays of Z and Higgs Bosons to J/ψ and a Photon in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(Springer-Verlag, 2019-01)
A search is presented for decays of Z and Higgs bosons to a J/ψ meson and a photon, with the subsequent decay of the J/ψ to μ⁺μ⁻. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions with an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb⁻¹ ...
Search for long-lived particles decaying into displaced jets in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(American Physical Society, 2019-02)
A search for long-lived particles decaying into jets is presented. Data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016, corresponding to an ...
Search for the associated production of the Higgs boson and a vector boson in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV via Higgs boson decays to τ leptons
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)
© 2019, The Author(s). A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W or a Z boson and decaying to a pair of τ leptons is performed. A data sample of proton-proton collisions collected at s = ...
Combination of CMS searches for heavy resonances decaying to pairs of bosons or leptons
(Elsevier BV, 2019)
© 2019 The Author(s) A statistical combination of searches for heavy resonances decaying to pairs of bosons or leptons is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 collected during 2016 by the ...
