The CMS trigger system
(IOP Publishing, 2017-01)
This paper describes the CMS trigger system and its performance during Run 1 of the LHC. The trigger system consists of two levels designed to select events of potential physics interest from a GHz (MHz) interaction rate ...
Search for Anomalous Wtb Couplings and Flavour-Changing Neutral Currents in t-Channel Single Top Quark Production in Pp Collisions at √s = 7 and 8 TeV
(Springer Nature, 2017-02)
Single top quark events produced in the t channel are used to set limits on anomalous Wtb couplings and to search for top quark flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions. The data taken with the CMS detector at ...
Search for Light Bosons in Decays of the 125 GeV Higgs Boson in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s = 8 TeV
(Springer Nature, 2017-09)
A search is presented for decays beyond the standard model of the 125 GeV Higgs bosons to a pair of light bosons, based on models with extended scalar sectors. Light boson masses between 5 and 62.5 GeV are probed in final ...
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
(Springer Nature, 2017-07)
A 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 ...
Searches for W′ bosons decaying to a top quark and a bottom quark in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
(Springer Nature, 2017-08)
Searches are presented for heavy gauge bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark in data collected by the CMS experiment at √s = 13 TeV that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 and 2.6 fb⁻¹ in the leptonic ...
Jet energy scale and resolution in the CMS experiment in pp collisions at 8 TeV
(IOP Publishing, 2017-02)
Improved jet energy scale corrections, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb ⁻¹ collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, are ...
Mechanical stability of the CMS strip tracker measured with a laser alignment system
(IOP Publishing, 2017-04)
The CMS tracker consists of 206 m 2 of silicon strip sensors assembled on carbon fibre composite structures and is designed for operation in the temperature range from -25 to +25°C. The mechanical stability of tracker ...
Search for supersymmetry in events with photons and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at 13 TeV
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
The 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 ...
Search for single production of vector-like quarks decaying to a Z boson and a top or a bottom quark in proton-proton collisions at s=13$$ \sqrt{s}=13 $$ TeV
(Springer Nature, 2017-05)
A search for single production of vector-like quarks, T and B, decaying into a Z boson and a top or a bottom quark, respectively, is presented. The search is performed using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC ...
Search for New Phenomena with Multiple Charged Leptons in Proton–proton Collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-09)
Results are reported from a search for physics beyond the standard model in final states with at least three charged leptons, in any combination of electrons or muons. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity ...
