Search for high-mass exclusive diphoton production with tagged protons in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Qian Wang, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Jan Steggemann, Ian Smith, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Michele De Palma, Matteo Galli

A search is presented for high-mass exclusive diphoton production via photon-photon fusion in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV in events where both protons survive the interaction. The analysis utilizes data corresponding to an integrated lumino ...

Measurement of the Z boson production cross-section in proton-lead collisions at root(NN)-N-s=8.16 TeV

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang

This article presents the first measurement of the differential Z-boson production cross-section in the forward region using proton-lead collisions with the LHCb detector. The dataset was collected at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root(NN)-N-s ...

Amplitude analysis of the D+-> pi(-)pi(+)pi(+) decay and measurement of the pi(-)pi(+) S-wave amplitude

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang

An amplitude analysis of the D+-> (-)pi(+)pi(+) decay is performed with a sample corresponding to 1.5 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV collected by the LHCb detector in 2012. The sample contains app ...

Measurement of the inclusive and differential t(t)over-bar gamma cross sections in the dilepton channel and effective field theory interpretation in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Varun Sharma, Olivier Martin, Ian Smith, Jean-François Carlin, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Thomas Mountford, Chao Wang, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

The production cross section of a top quark pair in association with a photon is measured in proton-proton collisions in the decay channel with two oppositely charged leptons (e(+/-)mu(-/+), e(+)e(-), or mu(+)mu(-)). The measurement is performed using 138 ...

Angular analysis of the rare decay B0s → φμ+μ−

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Tatsuya Nakada, Michel De Cian, Elena Graverini, Veronica Sølund Kirsebom, Ettore Zaffaroni

An angular analysis of the rare decay B0s → φμ+μ− is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.4 fb−1. The observables descri ...

First branching fraction measurement of the suppressed decay Xi(0)(c) -> pi(-) Lambda(+)(c)

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski

The Xi(0)(c) baryon is unstable and usually decays into charmless final states by the c -> sud transition. It can, however, also disintegrate into a pi(-) meson and a Lambda(+)(c) baryon via s quark decay or via cs -> dc weak scattering. The interplay betw ...

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 ...

Search for the rare decay B+ -> mu(+) mu(-) mu(+)nu(mu)

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Guido Haefeli, Frédéric Blanc, Christoph Frei, Tatsuya Nakada, François Fleuret, John Martin Kolinski, Luca Pescatore

A search for the rare leptonic decay B +. mu + mu - mu +.mu is performed using proton- proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb - 1 collected by the LHCb experiment. The search is carried out in the region where the lowest ...

One-Pot, Three-Component Arylalkynyl Sulfone Synthesis

Jérôme Waser, Chia-Chun Chen

A one-pot three-component protocol for the preparation of arylsulfonyl alkynes through the reaction of ethynyl-benziodoxolone (EBX) reagents, DABSO (DABCO.SO2), and either organomagnesium reagents or aryl iodides with a palladium catalyst is reported. A br ...

Room temperature alkynylation of H-phosphi(na)tes and secondary phosphine oxides with ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents

Jérôme Waser, Chia-Chun Chen

Highly efficient protocols for the alkynylation of H-phosphi(na)tes and secondary phosphine oxides with silyl, aryl and alkyl ethynyl-benziodoxolone (EBX) reagents are reported. Alkynyl phosphorus compounds were obtained in 69-93% yield without the need fo ...
