    A measurement of the production cross section ratio sigma(chi b2(1P))/sigma(chi b1(1P)) is presented. The chi b1 (1P) and chi b2 (1P) bottomonium states, promptly produced in pp collisions at root s = 8TeV, are detected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC through their radiative decays chi b1,2(1P) -> Y(1S) + gamma. The emitted photons are measured through their conversion to e(+) e(-) pairs, whose reconstruction allows the two states to be resolved. The Y(1S) is measured through its decay to two muons. An event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb(-1) is used to measure the cross section ratio in a phase-space region defined by the photon pseudorapidity, vertical bar eta(gamma)vertical bar < 1.0; the Y(1S) rapidity, vertical bar y(Y)vertical bar < 1.5; and the Y(1S) transverse momentum, 7 < p(T)(Y) < 40 GeV. The cross section ratio shows no significant dependence on the.(1S) transverse momentum, with a measured average value of 0.85 +/- 0.07 (stat + syst) +/- 0.08 (BF), where the first uncertainty is the combination of the experimental statistical and systematic uncertainties and the second is from the uncertainty in the ratio of the chi b branching fractions

    The top-quark pair production cross section is measured in final states with one electron or muon and one hadronically decaying tau lepton from the process t (t) over bar -> (l nu(l))(tau nu(tau))b (b) over bar, where l = e, mu. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb(-1) collected with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV. The measured cross section sigma(t (t) over bar) = 257 +/- 3 (stat) +/- 24 (syst) +/- 7 (lumi) pb, assuming a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV, is consistent with the standard model prediction

    A measurement of inclusive ZZ production cross section and constraints on anomalous triple gauge couplings in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV are presented. A data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse-femtobarns was collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The measurements are performed in the leptonic decay modes ZZllllZZ \to lll'l', where l=e,μl = e, \mu and l=e,μ,τl' = e, \mu, \tau. The measured total cross section, σ(ppZZ)=7.7±0.5(stat.)0.4+0.5(syst.)±0.4(theo.)±0.2(lum.)pb\sigma (pp \to ZZ) = 7.7 \pm 0.5 (stat.)^{+0.5}_{-0.4} (syst.) \pm 0.4 (theo.) \pm 0.2 (lum.) pb for both Z bosons produced in the mass range mZm_Z within 60 and 120 GeV, is consistent with standard model predictions. Differential cross sections are measured and well described by the theoretical predictions. The invariant mass distribution of the four-lepton system is used to set limits on anomalous ZZZ and ZZγ\gamma couplings at the 95% confidence level: f4Zf_4^Z in (-0.004,+0.004), f5Zf_5^Z in (-0.005,+0.005), f4γf_4^\gamma in (-0.004,+0.004), and f5γf_5^\gamma in (-0.005,+0.005)
