    Search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons with lepton flavour conserving or violating decays to a jet and a charged lepton

    No full text
    International audienceA search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) is presented, which considers the hadronic final state and coupling scenarios involving all three lepton generations in the 2-20 GeV HNL mass range for the first time. Events comprising two leptons (electrons or muons) and jets are analyzed in a data sample of proton-proton collisions, recorded with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1^{-1}. A novel jet tagger, based on a deep neural network, has been developed to identify jets from an HNL decay using various features of the jet and its constituent particles. The network output can be used as a powerful discriminating tool to probe a broad range of HNL lifetimes and masses. Contributions from background processes are determined from data. No excess of events in data over the expected background is observed. Upper limits on the HNL production cross section are derived as functions of the HNL mass and the three coupling strengths VNV_{\ell\mathrm{N}} to each lepton generation \ell and presented as exclusion limits in the coupling-mass plane, as lower limits on the HNL lifetime, and on the HNL mass. In this search, the most stringent limit on the coupling strength is obtained for pure muon coupling scenarios; values of VμN2>\lvert V_{\mu\mathrm{N}}\rvert^{2}\gt 5 (4)×\times107^{-7} are excluded for Dirac (Majorana) HNLs with a mass of 10 GeV at a confidence level of 95% that correspond to proper decay lengths of 17 (10) mm

    Search for baryon number violation in top quark production and decay using proton-proton collisions at s= \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    A search is presented for baryon number violating interactions in top quark production and decay. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1 ^{-1} . Candidate events are selected by requiring two oppositely-charged leptons (electrons or muons) and exactly one jet identified as originating from a bottom quark. Multivariate discriminants are used to separate the signal from the background. No significant deviation from the standard model prediction is observed. Upper limits are placed on the strength of baryon number violating couplings. For the first time the production of single top quarks via baryon number violating interactions is studied. This allows the search to set the most stringent constraints to date on the branching fraction of the top quark decay to a lepton, an up-type quark (u or c), and a down-type quark (d, s, or b). The results improve the previous bounds by three to six orders of magnitude based on the fermion flavor combination of the baryon number violating interactions.A search is presented for baryon number violating interactions in top quark production and decay.

    Energy correlators that describe energy-weighted distances between two or three particles in a jet are measured using an event sample of s= \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb1 ^{-1} . The measured distributions reveal two key features of the strong interaction: confinement and asymptotic freedom. By comparing the ratio of the two measured distributions with theoretical calculations that resum collinear emissions at approximate next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy matched to a next-to-leading order calculation, the strong coupling is determined at the Z boson mass: αS(mZ)= \alpha_\mathrm{S} (m_\mathrm{Z}) = 0.1229 0.0050+0.0040 ^{+0.0040}_{-0.0050} , the most precise αS(mZ) \alpha_\mathrm{S} (m_\mathrm{Z}) value obtained using jet substructure observables.Energy correlators that describe energy-weighted distances between two or three particles in a jet are measured using an event sample of s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb1^{-1}.

    Combination of measurements of the top quark mass from data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at s=7\sqrt{s}=7 and 8 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceA combination of fifteen top quark mass measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC is presented. The data sets used correspond to an integrated luminosity of up to 5 and 201^{-1} of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The combination includes measurements in top quark pair events that exploit both the semileptonic and hadronic decays of the top quark, and a measurement using events enriched in single top quark production via the electroweak tt-channel. The combination accounts for the correlations between measurements and achieves an improvement in the total uncertainty of 31% relative to the most precise input measurement. The result is mtm_\mathrm{t} = 172.52 ±\pm 0.14 (stat) ±\pm 0.30 (syst) GeV, with a total uncertainty of 0.33 GeV

    Observation of the Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b}\toψ\psi(2S)Ξ\Xi^- decay and studies of the Ξb0\Xi_\mathrm{b}^{\ast{}0} baryon in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    International audienceThe first observation of the decay Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b}\toψ\psi(2S)Ξ\Xi^- and measurement of the branching ratio of Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b}\toψ\psi(2S)Ξ\Xi^- to Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b}\to J/ψ\psiΞ\Xi^- are presented. The J/ψ\psi and ψ\psi(2S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay modes. The results are based on proton-proton colliding beam data from the LHC collected by the CMS experiment at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV in 2016-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb1^{-1}. The branching fraction ratio is measured to be B\mathcal{B}(Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b}\toψ\psi(2S)Ξ\Xi^-)/B\mathcal{B}(Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b}\to J/ψ\psiΞ\Xi^-) = 0.840.19+0.21^{+0.21}_{-0.19} (stat) ±\pm 0.10 (syst) ±\pm 0.02 (B\mathcal{B}), where the last uncertainty comes from the uncertainties in the branching fractions of the charmonium states. New measurements of the Ξb0\Xi_\mathrm{b}^{\ast{}0} baryon mass and natural width are also presented, using the Ξbπ+\Xi_\mathrm{b}^-\pi^+ final state, where the Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b} baryon is reconstructed through the decays J/ψΞ\psi \Xi^-, ψ\psi(2S)Ξ\Xi^-, J/ψΛ\psi \LambdaK^-, and J/ψΣ0\psi \Sigma^0K^-. Finally, the fraction of the Ξb\Xi^-_\mathrm{b} baryons produced from Ξb0\Xi_\mathrm{b}^{\ast{}0} decays is determined

    Search for the decay of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalar bosons in the final state with four bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceA search is presented for the decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson (H) to a pair of new light pseudoscalar bosons (a), followed by the prompt decay of each a boson to a bottom quark-antiquark pair, H \to aa \tobbˉbbˉ\mathrm{b\bar{b}b\bar{b}}. The analysis is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1^{-1}. To reduce the background from standard model processes, the search requires the Higgs boson to be produced in association with a leptonically decaying W or Z boson. The analysis probes the production of new light bosons in a 15 <\ltmam_\mathrm{a}<\lt 60 GeV mass range. Assuming the standard model predictions for the Higgs boson production cross sections for pp \to WH and ZH, model independent upper limits at 95% confidence level are derived for the branching fraction B\mathcal{B}(H \to aa \to bbˉbbˉ\mathrm{b\bar{b}b\bar{b}}). The combined WH and ZH observed upper limit on the branching fraction ranges from 1.10 for ma=m_\mathrm{a} = 20 GeV to 0.36 for ma=m_\mathrm{a} = 60 GeV, complementing other measurements in the μμττ\mu\mu\tau\tau, ττττ\tau\tau\tau\tau and bb\ell\ell (=\ell= μ\mu,τ\tau) channels

    Search for new resonances decaying to pairs of merged diphotons in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceA search is presented for an extended Higgs sector with two new particles, X and ϕ\phi, in the process X \toϕϕ\phi\phi\to(γγ)(γγ)(\gamma\gamma)(\gamma\gamma). Novel neural networks classify events with diphotons that are merged and determine the diphoton masses. The search uses LHC proton-proton collision data at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1^{-1}. No evidence of such resonances is seen. Upper limits are set on the production cross section versus the resonance masses, representing the most sensitive search in this channel

    Measurement of the production cross section of a Higgs boson with large transverse momentum in its decays to a pair of τ\tau leptons in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceA measurement of the production cross section of a Higgs boson with transverse momentum greater than 250 GeV is presented where the Higgs boson decays to a pair of τ\tau leptons. It is based on proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1^{-1}. Because of the large transverse momentum of the Higgs boson the τ\tau leptons from its decays are boosted and produced spatially close, with their decay products overlapping. Therefore, a dedicated algorithm was developed to reconstruct and identify them. The observed (expected) significance of the measured signal with respect to the standard model background-only hypothesis is 3.5 (2.2) standard deviations. The product of the production cross section and branching fraction is measured to be 1.640.54+0.68^{+0.68}_{-0.54} times the standard model expectation. The fiducial differential production cross section is also measured as functions of the Higgs boson and leading jet transverse momenta. This measurement extends the probed large-transverse-momentum region beyond 600 GeV

    Search for the lepton flavor violating τ\tau \to 3μ\mu decay in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceA search for the lepton flavor violating τ\tau \to 3μ\mu decay is performed using proton-proton collision events at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2017-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 97.7 fb1^{-1}. Tau leptons produced in both heavy-flavor hadron and W boson decays are exploited in the analysis. No evidence for the decay is observed. The results of this search are combined with an earlier null result based on data collected in 2016 to obtain a total integrated luminosity of 131 fb1^{-1}. The observed (expected) upper limits on the branching fraction B\mathcal{B}(τ\tau \to 3μ\mu) at confidence levels of 90 and 95% are 2.9×\times108^{-8} (2.4×\times108^{-8}) and 3.6×\times108^{-8} (3.0×\times108^{-8}), respectively
