Constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings using production and decay information in the four-lepton final state
(2017)Physics Letters BA search is performed for anomalous interactions of the recently discovered Higgs boson using matrix element techniques with the information from its decay to four leptons and from associated Higgs boson production with two quark jets in either vector boson fusion or associated production with a vector boson. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of and correspond to an integrated luminosity ...Journal Article -
Search for physics beyond the standard model in events with a Z boson, jets, and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
(2012)Physics Letters BA search is presented for physics beyond the standard model (BSM) in events with a Z boson, jets, and missing transverse energy (ETmiss). This signature is motivated by BSM physics scenarios, including supersymmetry. The study is performed using a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at √s=7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.98 fb -1. The contributions from the dominant ...Journal Article -
Search for long-lived particles in events with photons and missing energy in proton–proton collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2013)Physics Letters BResults are presented from a search for long-lived neutralinos decaying into a photon and an invisible particle, a signature associated with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in supersymmetric models. The analysis is based on a 4.9fb−1 sample of proton-proton collisions at s=7TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The missing transverse energy and the time of arrival of the photon at the electromagnetic calorimeter are used ...Journal Article -
Observation of a peaking structure in the J/ψφ mass spectrum from B±→J/ψφK± decays
(2014)Physics Letters BA peaking structure in the J/ψφ mass spectrum near threshold is observed in B ±→J/ψφK± decays, produced in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample, selected on the basis of the dimuon decay mode of the J/ψ, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.2 fb-1. Fitting the structure to an S-wave relativistic Breit-Wigner lineshape above a three-body phase-space nonresonant component gives a ...Journal Article -
Search for heavy resonances in the W/Z-tagged dijet mass spectrum in pp collisions at 7 TeV
(2013)Physics Letters BA search has been made for massive resonances decaying into a quark and a vector boson, qW or qZ, or a pair of vector bosons, WW, WZ, or ZZ, where each vector boson decays to hadronic final states. This search is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions collected in the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. For sufficiently heavy resonances ...Journal Article -
Search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair and decaying to bottom quarks using a matrix element method
(2015)The European Physical Journal CA search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair and decaying to bottom quarks is presented. Events with hadronic jets and one or two oppositely charged leptons are selected from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5fb-1 collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV. In order to separate the signal from the larger tt¯ + jets ...Journal Article -
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 black holes and other new phenomena in high-multiplicity final states in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2017)Physics Letters BA search for new physics in energetic, high-multiplicity final states has been performed using proton–proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3fb-1. The standard model background, dominated by multijet production, is determined exclusively from control regions in data. No statistically significant excess of events is observed. Model-independent ...Journal Article -

(2013)Physics Letters BThe angular distributions and the differential branching fraction of the decay B0→K*(892)0μ+μ- are studied using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.2fb-1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at s=7TeV. From more than 400 signal decays, the forward-backward asymmetry of the muons, the K*(892)0 longitudinal polarization fraction, and the differential branching fraction are determined as a ...Journal Article -

(2016)The European Physical Journal CA measurement of the W boson pair production cross section in proton-proton collisions at s√=8 TeV is presented. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.4fb-1.
