Search for Scalar Leptoquarks Produced via τ -Lepton–Quark Scattering in pp Collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2024)Physical Review LettersThe first search for scalar leptoquarks produced in τ-lepton–quark collisions is presented. It is based on a set of proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb⁻¹. The reconstructed final state consists of a jet, significant missing transverse momentum, and a τ lepton reconstructed through its hadronic or leptonic decays. ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the cross section of top quark-antiquark pair production in association with a W boson in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2023)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe production of a top quark-antiquark pair in association with a W boson (t (t) over barW) is measured in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The analyzed data was recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). Events with two or three leptons (electrons and muons) and additional jets are selected. In events with two leptons, a multiclass neural network ...Journal Article -
Measurement of inclusive and differential cross sections for single top quark production in association with a W boson in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2023)Journal of High Energy PhysicsMeasurements of the inclusive and normalised differential cross sections are presented for the production of single top quarks in association with a W boson in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data used were recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC during 2016–2018, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb⁻¹. Events containing one electron and one muon in the final state are analysed. For the ...Journal Article -

Measurement of the integrated and differential t¯t production cross sections for high-pT top quarks in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV
(2016)Physical Review DThe cross section for pair production of top quarks (t¯t) with high transverse momenta is measured in pp collisions, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC with √s=8 TeV in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. The measurement is performed using lepton+jets events, where one top quark decays semileptonically, while the second top quark decays to a hadronic final state. The hadronic decay is reconstructed as a ...Journal Article -
Searches for electroweak neutralino and chargino production in channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV
(2014)Physical Review DSearches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are presented based on the electroweak pair production of neutralinos and charginos, leading to decay channels with Higgs, Z, and W bosons and undetected lightest SUSY particles (LSPs). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 19.5 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected in 2012 with the CMS detector at the LHC. The main emphasis is neutralino ...Journal Article -
Measurements of jet multiplicity and differential production cross sections of Z+jets events in proton-proton collisions at √s =7TeV
(2015)Physical Review DMeasurements of differential cross sections are presented for the production of a Z boson and at least one hadronic jet in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV, recorded by the CMS detector, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb⁻¹. The jet multiplicity distribution is measured for up to six jets. The differential cross sections are measured as a function of jet transverse momentum and pseudorapidity ...Journal Article -
Beam test evaluation of electromagnetic calorimeter modules made from proton-damaged PbWO₄ crystals
(2016)Journal of InstrumentationThe performance of electromagnetic calorimeter modules made of proton-irradiated PbWO₄ crystals has been studied in beam tests. The modules, similar to those used in the Endcaps of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), were formed from 5×5 matrices of PbWO₄ crystals, which had previously been exposed to 24 GeV protons up to integrated fluences between 2.1× 10¹³ and 1.3× 10¹⁴ cm⁻². These correspond to the predicted charged-hadron ...Journal Article -
Search for ZZ and ZH production in the bbbb final state using proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2024)The European Physical Journal CA search for ZZ and ZH production in the bb¯bb¯ final state is presented, where H is the standard model (SM) Higgs boson. The search uses an event sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 133fb-1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The analysis introduces several novel techniques for deriving and validating a multi-dimensional background model based ...Journal Article
