Measurements of tt¯ spin correlations and top quark polarization using dilepton final states in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV
(2016)Physical Review DMeasurements of the top quark-antiquark (t¯t) spin correlations and the top quark polarization are presented for t¯t pairs produced in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed using events with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons) and two or more jets, where at least one of the jets is identified as ...Journal Article -

Searches for light- and heavy-flavour three-jet resonances in pp collisions at √s=8TeV
(2014)Physics Letters BA search for three-jet hadronic resonance production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV has been conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 fb(-1). The search method is model independent, and events are selected that have high jet multiplicity and large values of jet transverse momenta. The signal models explored assume R-parity-violating supersymmetric ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) polarizations in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2013)Physics Letters BThe polarizations of prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV, using a dimuon data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb-1. The prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) polarization parameters λθ{symbol}, λφ, and λθ{symbol}φ, as well as the frame-invariant quantity λ~, are measured from the dimuon decay angular distributions in three different polarization ...Journal Article -
Search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at √s= 8 TeV in events with a single lepton, large jet multiplicity, and multiple b jets
(2014)Physics Letters BResults are reported from a search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, based on events with a single isolated lepton (electron or muon) and multiple jets, at least two of which are identified as b jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.3 fb(-1) recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2012. The search is motivated by supersymmetric models that involve strong-production ...Journal Article -
Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying into two photons in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2012)Physics Letters BA search for a Higgs boson decaying into two photons is described. The analysis is performed using a dataset recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC from pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb−1. Limits are set on the cross section of the standard model Higgs boson decaying to two photons. The expected exclusion limit at 95% confidence level is between 1.4 and 2.4 times ...Journal Article -
Search for baryon number violation in top-quark decays
(2014)Physics Letters BA search for baryon number violation (BNV) in top-quark decays is performed using pp collisions produced by the LHC at s=8 TeV. The top-quark decay considered in this search results in one light lepton (muon or electron), two jets, but no neutrino in the final state. Data used for the analysis were collected by the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb-1. The event selection is optimized for top quarks produced ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) Polarizations in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2013)Physical Review LettersThe polarizations of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at √s=7 TeV, using a data sample of Υ(nS)→μ+μ− decays collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1. The dimuon decay angular distributions are analyzed in three different polarization frames. The polarization parameters λϑ, λφ, and λϑφ, as well as the frame-invariant quantity ˜λ, are presented as a ...Journal Article -
Azimuthal Anisotropy of Charged Particles at High Transverse Momenta in Pb-Pb Collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV
(2012)Physical Review LettersThe azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV is measured with the CMS detector at the LHC over an extended transverse momentum (pT) range up to approximately 60 GeV/c. The data cover both the low-pT region associated with hydrodynamic flow phenomena and the high-pT region where the anisotropies may reflect the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the created medium. The anisotropy parameter ...Journal Article -
Search for pair-produced dijet resonances in four-jet final states in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV
(2013)Physical Review LettersA search for the pair production of a heavy, narrow resonance decaying into two jets has been performed using events collected in √s=7 TeV pp collisions with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1. Events are selected with at least four jets and two dijet combinations with similar dijet mass. No resonances are found in the dijet mass spectrum. The upper limit at 95% confidence ...Journal Article
