    Measurement of the double-differential inclusive jet cross section in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceThe inclusive jet cross section is measured as a function of jet transverse momentum pTp_\mathrm{T} and rapidity yy. The measurement is performed using proton-proton collision data at s\sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 27.4 pb1^{-1}. The jets are reconstructed with the anti-kTk_\mathrm{T} algorithm using a distance parameter of RR = 0.4, within the rapidity interval y\lvert y\rvert<\lt 2, and across the kinematic range 0.06 <\ltpTp_\mathrm{T}<\lt 1 TeV. The jet cross section is unfolded from detector to particle level using the determined jet response and resolution. The results are compared to predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, calculated at both next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order. The predictions are corrected for nonperturbative effects, and presented for a variety of parton distribution functions and choices of the renormalization/factorization scales and the strong coupling αS\alpha_\mathrm{S}

    Observation of new structure in the J/ψ\psiJ/ψ\psi mass spectrum in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    International audienceA search is reported for near-threshold structures in the J/ψ\psiJ/ψ\psi invariant mass spectrum produced in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV from data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 135 fb1^{-1}. A new structure is observed with a significance above 5 standard deviations at a mass of 6552 ±\pm 10 (stat) ±\pm 12 (syst) MeV. Another structure with even higher significance is found at a mass of 6927 ±\pm 9 (stat) ±\pm 4 (syst) MeV, which is consistent with the X(6900) resonance reported by the LHCb experiment and confirmed by the ATLAS experiment. Evidence for another new structure, with a local significance of 4.1 standard deviations, is found at a mass of 728718+20^{+20}_{-18} (stat) ±\pm 5 (syst) MeV. The masses and significances are obtained in a model without considering possible quantum mechanical interference between the resonances. Incorporating this interference provides a better description of the mass spectrum between the resonances and shifts the measured masses by up to 150 MeV

    Measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy of prompt and nonprompt charmonia in PbPb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 5.02 TeV

    International audienceThe second-order (v2v_2) and third-order (v3v_3) Fourier coefficients describing the azimuthal anisotropy of prompt and nonprompt (from b-hadron decays) J/ψ\psi, as well as prompt ψ\psi(2S) mesons are measured in lead-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 5.02 TeV. The analysis uses a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.61 nb1^{-1} recorded with the CMS detector. The J/ψ\psi and ψ\psi(2S) mesons are reconstructed using their dimuon decay channel. The v2v_2 and v3v_3 coefficients are extracted using the scalar product method and studied as functions of meson transverse momentum and collision centrality. The measured v2v_2 values for prompt J/ψ\psi mesons are found to be larger than those for nonprompt J/ψ\psi mesons. The prompt J/ψ\psiv2v_2 values at high pTp_\mathrm{T} are found to be underpredicted by a model incorporating only parton energy loss effects in a quark-gluon plasma medium. Prompt and nonprompt J/ψ\psi meson v3v_3 and prompt ψ\psi(2S) v2v_2 and v3v_3 values are also reported for the first time, providing new information about heavy quark interactions in the hot and dense medium created in heavy ion collisions

    Inclusive and differential cross section measurements of ttˉbbˉ {\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}} \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} production in the lepton+jets channel at s= \sqrt{s}= 13 TeV

    No full text
    Measurements of inclusive and normalized differential cross sections of the associated production of top quark-antiquark and bottom quark-antiquark pairs, ttˉbbˉ {\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}} \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} , are presented. The results are based on data from proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1 ^{-1} . The cross sections are measured in the lepton+jets decay channel of the top quark pair, using events containing exactly one isolated electron or muon and at least five jets. Measurements are made in four fiducial phase space regions, targeting different aspects of the ttˉbbˉ {\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}} \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} process. Distributions are unfolded to the particle level through maximum likelihood fits, and compared with predictions from several event generators. The inclusive cross section measurements of this process in the fiducial phase space regions are the most precise to date. In most cases, the measured inclusive cross sections exceed the predictions with the chosen generator settings. The only exception is when using a particular choice of dynamic renormalization scale, μR=12i=t,tˉ,b,bˉmT,i1/4 {\mu_{\mathrm{R}}=\frac12 \prod_{i=\mathrm{t},\bar{\mathrm{t}},\mathrm{b},\bar{\mathrm{b}}} m_{\mathrm{T},i}^{1/4}} , where mT,i2=mi2+pT,i2 {m_{\mathrm{T},i}^2=m_i^2+p_{\mathrm{T},i}^2} are the transverse masses of top and bottom quarks. The differential cross sections show varying degrees of compatibility with the theoretical predictions, and none of the tested generators with the chosen settings simultaneously describe all the measured distributions.Measurements of inclusive and normalized differential cross sections of the associated production of top quark-antiquark and bottom quark-antiquark pairs, ttbb, are presented.
