Study of azimuthal anisotropy of γ(1S) mesons in pPb collisions at √SNN=8.16 TeV

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Qian Wang, Jan Steggemann, Yiming Li, Anna Mascellani, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Matteo Galli

The azimuthal anisotropy of gamma(1S) mesons in high-multiplicity proton-lead collisions is studied using data collected by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV. The gamma(1S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon ...

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 top squark production in fully hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

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

A search for production of the supersymmetric partners of the top quark, top squarks, is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collision events containing multiple jets, no leptons, and large transverse momentum imbalance. The data were collected ...

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 ...

Observation of a New Excited Beauty Strange Baryon Decaying to Xi(-)(b)pi(+)pi(-)

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

The Xi(-)(b)pi(+)pi(-) invariant mass spectrum is investigated with an event sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016-2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb(-1). The gro ...

Measurement of the W gamma Production Cross Section in Proton-Proton Collisions at root s=13 TeV and Constraints on Effective Field Theory Coefficients

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

A fiducial cross section for W gamma production in proton-proton collisions is measured at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 137 fb(-1) of data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC. The W -> e nu and mu nu decay modes are used in a maximum-likeli ...

REVIEW OF PARTICLE PHYSICS Particle Data Group

Olivier Schneider, Varun Sharma, Christophe Bauer, Greig Alan Cowan, Julien Lesgourgues, Riddhiman Sarkar, Vladimir Petrov, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Frank Zimmermann, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,873 new measurements from 758 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, lepton ...

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 ...
