Measurement of the differential cross section and charge asymmetry for inclusive pp → W±+ X production at √s = 8 TeV

Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAMThe differential cross section and charge asymmetry for inclusive pp → W± + X → μ±ν + X production at √s = 8 TeV are measured as a function of muon pseudorapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.8fb-1 recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. These results provide important constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10-3 to 10-1Individuals have received support from the Marie-Curie programme and the European Research Council and EPLANET (European Union); the Leventis Foundation; the A.

Search for a Higgs boson decaying into γ*γ→ℓℓγ with low dilepton mass in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV

A search is described for a Higgs boson decaying into two photons, one of which has an internal conversion to a muon or an electron pair ( ℓℓγ ). The analysis is performed using proton–proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb −1 . The events selected have an opposite-sign muon or electron pair and a high transverse momentum photon. No excess above background has been found in the three-body invariant mass range 12

Search for top squark pair production in compressed-mass-spectrum scenarios in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV using the αT_{T} variable

An inclusive search is performed for supersymmetry in final states containing jets and an apparent imbalance in transverse momentum, (p) over right arrow (miss)(T),due to the production of unobserved weakly interacting particles in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The data, recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 18.5fb(-1). The dimensionless kinematic variable alpha(T) is used to discriminate between events with genuine (p) over right arrow (miss)(T)associated with unobserved particles and spurious values of (p) over right arrow (miss)(T) Tarising from jet energy mismeasurements. No excess of event yields above the expected standard model backgrounds is observed. The results are interpreted in terms of constraints on the parameter space of several simplified models of supersymmetry that assume the pair production of top squarks. The search provides sensitivity to a broad range of top squark ((t) over tilde) decay modes, including the two-body decay (t)over tilde> -> c (chi) over tilde (0)(1),where c is a charm quark (chi) over tilde (0)(1) and is the lightest neutralino, as well as the four-body decay (t)over tilde> -> bf (f) over bar' (chi) over bar (0)(1),where b is a bottom quark and f and (f) over bar' are fermions produced in the decay of an intermediate off-shell W boson. These modes dominate in scenarios in which the top squark and lightest neutralino are nearly degenerate in mass. For these modes, top squarks with masses as large as 260 and 225 GeV are excluded, respectively, for the two-and four-body decays. (C) 2017 The Author. Published by Elsevier B.V
