Once more we are made aware of the fact that during the first half of the 19th century Bohemian musicians performed successfully outside their home country, in Europe as well as in the New World and in the Russian Empire, including careers in Vienna and we also learn that the readers of Viennese journals in the first place of the “Theaterzeitung” got firsthand information about the repertoire of the theatres in Prague and of theatres elsewhere. Reports and reviews about the life in the applied arts in the Bohemian lands being a rather lesser known chapter of art history allow us an insight in this field. The volume in question offers a reach source of information concerning the history of music, applied and performing arts in the Bohemian lands under Habsburg rule in the first half of the 19th century from the perspective of Viennese media.Einmal mehr wird ins Gedächtnis gerufen, dass böhmische Musiker europaweit auftraten, auch die Neue Welt und das Russische Reich bespielten, besonders aber auch an den Wiener Bühnen teils an maßgeblicher Stelle als Komponisten, Solisten oder Kapellmeister wirkten und dass, das Theaterleben betreffend, die Leserschaft der Wiener Blätter, allen voran der „Theaterzeitung“, bestens im Bilde darüber war, was in Prag und anderswo gespielt wurde. Berichte über die bildenden Künste in den böhmischen Ländern vermitteln einen Einblick in das wenig bekannte zeitgenössische Kunstgeschehen. Der vorliegende Band erschließt reichhaltige Quellen zur Theater- Musik- und Kunstgeschichte der Biedermeierzeit und schlägt ein bedeutendes Kapitel der Pressegeschichte auf. Das Wiener Vormärz-Slavica-Projekt am Institut für Kulturwissenschaften und Theatergeschichte der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften befasst sich mit der „nichtpolitischen“ Metternich‘schen Presse, indem es eine Auswertung im Hinblick auf eine spezifische Fragestellung liefert. Die vorliegende Publikation ist der dritte Teil des fünften Bandes der daraus hervorgegangenen komparatistischen Reihe betitelt: Die böhmischen Länder in den Wiener Zeitschriften und Almanachen des Vormärz (1805-1848). Tschechische nationale Wiedergeburt – Kultur- und Landeskunde von Böhmen, Mähren und Schlesien – Kulturelle Beziehungen zu Wien. Nachdem Teil I (2011) die Bereiche Belletristik und Pressewesen, Teil II (2013) die Bereiche Sprachwissenschaften – Philosophie, Ästhetik, Rhetorik – Geschichte – Bildungsinstitutionen, erschlossen haben wird in Teil III das Material zu den Künsten (Musik – Bildende Künste – Darstellende Künste) systematisch erfasst

Die böhmischen Länder in den Wiener Zeitschriften und Almanachen des Vormärz (1805–1848)

The present volume contains a critical suvey of entries collected from periodicals – learned journals and entertaining weeklies which were published in Vienna during the 1st half of the 19th century concerning the field of investigation which is the historical region of present day Czech Republic back then part of the Habsburg Empire with Vienna as the capital. The material collected in the present volume does cover the fields “Religion”, “Law”, “Area studies”, “Political economy”, “Natural sciences and mathematics” thus completing the study with three parts already in print: part I (2011) “Literature and literary history”; part II (2013) “Linguistics”, “Philosophy, esthetics, rethorics”,“Historiography”, “Education”; part III (2014) “The Arts”. An index will be available online once the book is released, a general index in a print version will be provided in time

Search for the standard model Higgs boson in the H to ZZ to 2l 2nu channel in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

A search for the standard model Higgs boson in the H to ZZ to 2l 2nu decay channel, where l = e or mu, in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The data were collected at the LHC, with the CMS detector, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 inverse femtobarns. No significant excess is observed above the background expectation, and upper limits are set on the Higgs boson production cross section. The presence of the standard model Higgs boson with a mass in the 270-440 GeV range is excluded at 95% confidence level.Comment: Submitted to JHE

Combined search for the quarks of a sequential fourth generation

Results are presented from a search for a fourth generation of quarks produced singly or in pairs in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 inverse femtobarns recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011. A novel strategy has been developed for a combined search for quarks of the up and down type in decay channels with at least one isolated muon or electron. Limits on the mass of the fourth-generation quarks and the relevant Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements are derived in the context of a simple extension of the standard model with a sequential fourth generation of fermions. The existence of mass-degenerate fourth-generation quarks with masses below 685 GeV is excluded at 95% confidence level for minimal off-diagonal mixing between the third- and the fourth-generation quarks. With a mass difference of 25 GeV between the quark masses, the obtained limit on the masses of the fourth-generation quarks shifts by about +/- 20 GeV. These results significantly reduce the allowed parameter space for a fourth generation of fermions.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO

Search for a W' boson decaying to a bottom quark and a top quark in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Results are presented from a search for a W' boson using a dataset corresponding to 5.0 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected during 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The W' boson is modeled as a heavy W boson, but different scenarios for the couplings to fermions are considered, involving both left-handed and right-handed chiral projections of the fermions, as well as an arbitrary mixture of the two. The search is performed in the decay channel W' to t b, leading to a final state signature with a single lepton (e, mu), missing transverse energy, and jets, at least one of which is tagged as a b-jet. A W' boson that couples to fermions with the same coupling constant as the W, but to the right-handed rather than left-handed chiral projections, is excluded for masses below 1.85 TeV at the 95% confidence level. For the first time using LHC data, constraints on the W' gauge coupling for a set of left- and right-handed coupling combinations have been placed. These results represent a significant improvement over previously published limits.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters B. Replaced with version publishe

Measurement of the t t-bar production cross section in the dilepton channel in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

The t t-bar production cross section (sigma[t t-bar]) is measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 inverse femtobarns. The measurement is performed in events with two leptons (electrons or muons) in the final state, at least two jets identified as jets originating from b quarks, and the presence of an imbalance in transverse momentum. The measured value of sigma[t t-bar] for a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV is 161.9 +/- 2.5 (stat.) +5.1/-5.0 (syst.) +/- 3.6(lumi.) pb, consistent with the prediction of the standard model.Comment: Replaced with published version.

Search for New Physics with Jets and Missing Transverse Momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

A search for new physics is presented based on an event signature of at least three jets accompanied by large missing transverse momentum, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns collected in proton--proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events is observed above the expected standard model backgrounds, which are all estimated from the data. Exclusion limits are presented for the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. Cross section limits are also presented using simplified models with new particles decaying to an undetected particle and one or two jets
