Azimuthal Correlations within Exclusive Dijets with Large Momentum Transfer in Photon-Lead Collisions

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

The structure of nucleons is multidimensional and depends on the transverse momenta, spatial geometry, and polarization of the constituent partons. Such a structure can be studied using high-energy photons produced in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions. ...

Two-particle azimuthal correlations in γp interactions using pPb collisions at √sNN=8.16 TeV

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

The first measurements of the Fourier coefficients (V-n Delta) of the azimuthal distributions of charged hadrons emitted from photon-proton (gamma p) interactions are presented. The data are extracted from 68.8nb(-1) of ultra-peripheral proton-lead (pPb) c ...

Search for singly and pair-produced leptoquarks coupling to third-generation fermions in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

A search for leptoquarks produced singly and in pairs in proton-proton collisions is presented. We consider the leptoquark (LQ) to be a scalar particle of charge -1/3e coupling to a top quark plus a tau lepton (t tau) or a bottom quark plus a neutrino (b n ...

Search for the rare decay of the W boson into a pion and a photon in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

A search is performed for the rare decay W-+/--> pi(+/-)gamma in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1) were collected during 2016 to 2018 with the CMS detector. This analysis exploits a no ...

Electron and photon reconstruction and identification with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC

Matthias Finger, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

The performance is presented of the reconstruction and identification algorithms for electrons and photons with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The reported results are based on proton-proton collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and ...

Beam test performance of prototype silicon detectors for the Outer Tracker for the Phase-2 Upgrade of CMS

Qian Wang, Simone Scarfì, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Tian Cheng, Werner Lustermann, Andromachi Tsirou, Andrea Rizzi, David Vannerom

A new CMS tracker detector will be installed for operation at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). This detector comprises modules with two closely spaced parallel sensor plates and front-end ASICs capable of transmitting tracking information to the CMS Level ...

The DAQ and control system for the CMS Phase-1 pixel detector upgrade

Qian Wang, Simone Scarfì, Varun Sharma, Chia-Chun Chen, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Tian Cheng, Werner Lustermann, Andromachi Tsirou, Andrea Rizzi

In 2017 a new pixel detector was installed in the CMS detector. This so-called Phase-1 pixel detector features four barrel layers in the central region and three disks per end in the forward regions. The upgraded pixel detector requires an upgraded data ac ...

Observation of the rare B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) decay from the combined analysis of CMS and LHCb data

Matthias Finger, Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Qian Wang, Frédéric Blanc, Yiming Li, Tatsuya Nakada, Varun Sharma

The standard model of particle physics describes the fundamental particles and their interactions via the strong, electromagnetic and weak forces. It provides precise predictions for measurable quantities that can be tested experimentally. The probabilitie ...
